7. LOUISIANA-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

7.1 Final Wage Payment

Under La. R.S. 23:631(A)(1), amounts then due after discharge must be paid by the earlier of the next regular payday or 15 days after discharge. After resignation, the comparison is to the next regular payday for the pay cycle in which the employee worked at separation or 15 days after resignation. The statute addresses accrued vacation and commission, incentive, or bonus compensation separately in subsections (D) and (E); it also contains a collective-bargaining exception in subsection (A)(3). A well-founded unpaid-wage claim may give rise to the remedies in La. R.S. 23:632, subject to its good-faith-dispute rule.

7.2 Anti-Discrimination Protections

The Company will comply with applicable employment discrimination laws. La. R.S. 23:332(A)(1) addresses intentional discrimination in hiring, discharge, compensation, or other employment terms based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, military status, or natural, protective, or cultural hairstyle. Other protected grounds have separate legal bases and must be assessed under the applicable provision.

8. CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

This offer is contingent upon the following:

• ☐ Satisfactory completion of a background check
• ☐ Satisfactory completion of a drug screening
• ☐ Verification of identity and employment eligibility (Form I-9)
• ☐ Proof of required licenses/certifications: [________________________________]
