<prompt> Human: To keep this short Id LOVE to get more in depth into my situation if anyone is willing to listen and offer more advice, I received and accepted a job by a company that seems to have an outsourced HR department, meaning that the recruiter who initially reached out to me about the job and the person Ive been in contact with regarding details about the job lets call her Kim are located in a different state. My in-office interview was with the manager I would be reporting to. After my interview, Kim sent me an email with the subject line Contingent offer letter that says that my employment is contingent upon me passing the background check. PDF documents detailing benefits are attached. In a separate email thread, I confirm with her the hours I am expected to be there. Then a few days later, I received another email with the subject line including Offer letter. It includes the salary, and some other information, not including the hours. Is the email exchange confirming my working hours and the Offer letter email legally binding? Thank you for your help.Edit: This is a legitimate company. Im just wondering if its a red flag that the hours werent included in the offer letter which was just text in the body of an email and that they arent asking me to sign anything to make it official  <response>: Other people have commented, so just reiterating:1 Contingent offer letter - nothing unusual here. Fairly typical for a professional job.2 Working hours - almost never specified for a professional job. If you are in a salaried position, its assumed youll informally agree with your boss on expected normal working hours, but if deadlines are looming or if travel is expected or if something else goes wrong, youll reasonably accommodate. Good placesbosses will also reasonably accommodate things like you have a dentist appointment Tuesday morning, or you have a minor family emergency Thursday afternoon and have to leave a bit early.3 Contract - few professional positions operate under contract these days. Dont know where you got that idea. Athletes, tradespeople and contractors duh work under contract. A lot of others dont.
