Dear Mr. Gilliam:

Upon verification of your right to work in the United States, your hire date will be July 14, 2016. In this position your annual base salary will be $165,000.

Your target performance bonus will be up to 20% of your base salary. The amount of your bonus is based on individual and company performance and contributions. All performance bonuses are subject to the sole discretion of the Company.

The Company considers the first ninety (90) days of employment a probationary period in which we reserve the right to terminate our employment relationship if, after careful evaluation, the Company determines that your skills, capabilities or performance will limit your success in this position.

Currently, we offer three different medical plans, dental, vision, short & long disability, life insurance and other voluntary coverage options. The health insurance benefits are effective the first of the month after the completion of your first 30 days.
