## Prompt

```text
Help me make a job offer to my first employee and get everything ready before they start. This is step 5 of the 'Hire your first employee' pack; paste the scorecard or notes from step 4 if useful.

**Candidate name and role:** [DETAILS]
**Pay, hours, start date, and probation period (if any):** [DETAILS]
**Benefits and time off:** [DETAILS]
**Location:** [COUNTRY/STATE]
**Step 4 output (optional):** [PASTE]

Return:
1. A short script for the offer phone call: how to make the offer, answer likely questions, and respond if they ask for more pay.
2. A friendly offer letter covering: role, start date, pay and pay schedule, hours, location, benefits, conditions (e.g. references, right-to-work check), who they report to, and a reply-by date. Mark anything legally sensitive (at-will language, probation, notice periods, non-compete or confidentiality terms) as [CONFIRM WITH ADVISER].
3. A pre-start checklist in order: employment paperwork and tax forms, right-to-work verification, payroll setup, insurance, required workplace notices, accounts, keys, uniform or equipment. Note that requirements vary by location and should be checked with my accountant or local labor authority.
4. A simple first-day plan: welcome, tour, who's who, a first task they can finish, and a 15-minute end-of-day check-in.

This is general information, not legal advice. Don't invent legal requirements; flag them for me to verify.
