[quote=Anonymous]Hi all
I just got an official offer letter in the mail that I was waiting for.  I am really happy, especially since it's an entry level position and the salary is higher than I expected.  I am going to sit on it for a couple days (that's okay, right?) before sending back my signed copy.  However, I have a few questions about specifics that I would like to know before accepting the job.  They aren't dealbreaker type questions, but I still want to know.  Can I email my would-be supervisor (the woman I have been in contact with and interviewed with) with my questions, or should I email her letting her know I have some questions, and could she direct me to HR?
My questions are about the schedule (the hours listed are 45 hours, so am I to assume this includes lunch, or is there a little bit of overtime involved?)  Also, there is some tricky wording regarding the 401k plan- "3% of your eligible pay for each pay period will be automatically contributed to an account in your name...".  At the interview, the supervisor said they will match up to 3% of whatever I contribute.  But the wording here doesn't include anything about that, and I do want some clarification.  Also, my schedule includes Saturdays.  I know I have a day in June where I have a wedding on a Friday night (so I would need to take a half day that Friday), and another wedding in November (where I would need a Saturday off)- do I let her know right away?  Is that bad to be taking time off already?  I also would like to know how that works- if I can work a half day, instead of taking off the whole day, does it not make a difference?
I know these are all questions that won't necessarily make a difference in whether or not I accept the position, but they still are on my mind.  Also, I have no information for the HR person, so I would be contacting my supervisor with these questions.

Let me know what you all think.  I am new to this, so some of this might have an obvious answer, or seem kind of stupid![/quote]
