Legal Aid Society - Sample Employment Letters

The Legal Aid Society (of California) web site has a host of employment letters that can be adapted for a variety of workplace situations. Please note that because of the jurisdiction these sample letters reference labor codes in California. However, with a little Internet searching, you can modify those codes to reflect the proper regulations for the state you reside in. There are sample letters for employment references, inspection of personnel files, leave requests, final payment of wages, etc. that contain language that you may want to tweak or steal. The link to the sample employment letters is: http://www.las-elc.org/selfhelp.html
