We are happy that you have decided to accept the offer of employment with Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. This is an exciting time to be joining our organization, and we are happy to have you as a part of our team. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of some of the conditions of the general offer that you have accepted:

• You have accepted an offer to be an employee at will.
• You have accepted a general offer, which means you can be placed place anywhere within our organization that has current openings. While it has been communicated that most of the current open positions are in Pittsburgh and Windsor, business needs are arising for our other locations, and it is possible that you will be assigned to one of these locations. It is also possible that you may be relocated to another location during your career at Westinghouse.
• Accordingly, there is no guarantee or promise that you will be placed in a work location according to your preferences that you listed. While we do take your stated preferences into consideration, we place our employees based on the positions that are available and the needs of our business.
• We can not give you a timeline for when you will be placed within a specific group. Thus, it is not possible at this time to tell you exactly when your first day of work will be. We give priority in placing our December graduates, and then placing May graduates as the open needs are identified. We will communicate a specific date as soon as we are able to do so.
• If you decline to begin work because of the work location to which you are assigned or otherwise, you will have rejected our offer of employment, and, unfortunately, you will not be able to work for Westinghouse.

Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions or wish to discuss anything. We look forward to having you aboard!
