Unconditional Offer of Reinstatement Letter
(Employer to Discharged Employee)

Summary

This letter to discharged employee offers unconditional reinstatement to a terminated employee who has sued an employer for violating federal discrimination laws. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. Under many federal anti-discrimination laws, offers of unconditional reinstatement, if properly executed, may eliminate or limit back pay and front pay damages. This letter is intended for private, non-unionized employers. It is based on federal law and does not address all potential state law distinctions. Thus, you should check any relevant state and local laws. For information on front and back pay damages, see Back Pay Awards in Employment Discrimination Cases (Federal) and Front Pay Awards in Employment Discrimination Cases (Federal).
