Last week I was contacted regarding a potential employment opportunity with Seatrans Logistics as a Supply Chain Manager. After exchanging a couple of emails I participated in a 5 minute phone interview. The next day I was tentatively offered the position based on completing a 4 week training program. During the training period it appears I will be making purchases and other financial obligations for the company. Below is the email I received today along with an employment agreement. You have successfully passed the hiring process! Therefore, we warmly welcome you to our company. As a part of the Seatrans Logistics company, you’ll be working with industry leaders to exhibit excellence in all you do and to attain the highest level of customer service for every client. You will find attached to this correspondence a Pre-Employment Agreement. This Agreement ensures that once you have successfully completed your one month period of part-time employment with us, you will then be eligible for long-term, full-time employment. Upon successful completion of your one month of part-time employment, a full-time agreement will be offered and you will begin to receive your new salary and commission rate. Please make sure to read the Pre-Agreement very carefully, as it contains important information relevant to the position. Please print and sign the last page of this agreement, or sign via e-signature, and be sure to return the signed last page to me. As part of the long-term employment contract agreement, you will receive a corporate credit card and a W2 form; this will be provided to you in person after you are invited to come in for a face-to-face meeting a few weeks from now (after you have completed most of the one month part-time period). Mr. Clyde Newman will be sending you an email today, so please, be sure to keep a lookout for it, and to check your bulk/spam mail folder, just in case this email is routed to a folder other than your inbox. It is extremely important that you send a confirmation email to Mr. Newman immediately. This important email will contain your training materials. Here is a rundown of what to expect during the first few weeks after hire: • Week 1: This first week of training will get you up to speed on basic theory. By the end of the week, you will be able to understand and manage some theoretical situations. You’ll also be contacted by our Senior Project Manager, Mr. Shawn Medlock, who will have some additional paperwork and trial projects for you to complete. • Week 2: You will continue to work on trial projects and additional theoretical materials. During this week you will also receive an iPhone and your first commission. • Week 3: More work will be done on trial projects and you will continue with more theoretical situations, work, and materials. You’ll receive your second commission during this week as well. • Week 4: You will continue to work on trial projects and additional theoretical materials. You will receive your third commission at this time. Your salary, in the form of a check for $3000, will also be issued to you at this time. Please remember these two very important things: 1. Be sure to sign the last page of the attached Agreement and return to me. 2. Keep an eye out for an email from your Training Manager (Clyde Newman) today morning (9/24/18). Be sure to confirm your receipt of this email. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Have a nice day! — Best regards, Rebecca Mason, HR Manager Seatrans Logistics, HR Department New York City, NY Division
