    This site is a great way to find out what's planned for e-NEO. 

     By the way, I think it should be "DLC" not "LDC" in "Template for local LDC Orientations" and "their LDC work areas."

    I noticed a couple references to 'offer letter'.  Assuming this is referring to the letter that HR sends (that the HRO signs), I would encourage referring to this as the 'offer confirmation letter'.  In many places (including IS&T), someone in the department prepares and sends the real 'offer letter'; the person accepts; then info submitted to HR/Payroll Service Center via the online Offer Confirmation form; and then the 'offer confirmation letter' is generated. If department and/or candidate think that the letter from HR is an 'offer letter', misunderstandings can result.
