Questions
Is this employment offer letter + employee confidentiality agreement valid in Louisiana?
Yes. The Louisiana edition is the state-neutral form with the Louisiana statute, filing office and document names typed in, and the clauses Louisiana treats differently adjusted. It is a template you complete yourself; have an attorney licensed in Louisiana review it if your situation is unusual.
What file do I get?
A zip with the Louisiana edition and all other 50 state editions, each as Word (.docx) files in English and Spanish, plus the Instruction Sheet. Open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.
How do I complete it?
Open the Instruction Sheet first. Replace each yellow [BRACKETED FIELD] with your information, delete the options you do not use, delete the cover page, then print or e-sign.
Do I need a notary or a lawyer?
The Instruction Sheet says when a signature needs a notary and lists the situations where the form is not enough and an attorney should review it.
