Appointment Letter Not Given

punter24
I am working in a pvt. ltd. company since the past two months...till now, I haven\'t received my appointment letter (original hard copy) from them...I did receive the soft copy before joining the company..but there were many errors (e.g. name not written,joining date not written, etc.) in the letter which I had noticed that had to be rectified...I keep on asking them but they (HR & MD) but they just keep postponing it...please guide me...I am really worried..

Hi Puneet,
Pl. explain what they say when u ask for letter?
Ask hr for reasonable timeline within which they should give u letter.

@hai_nitu: when i ask the receptionist (who is the HR)...she'll give vague excuses..."ill give you tomorrow"...and that tomorrow never comes for her..I asked her again yesterday...she says its already been given to Sir (MD)..when I ask the MD..he says I'll ask the receptionist...Today again I asked the receptionist..she says I have already given it to Sir..Its been like this since the last two weeks...frustrating for me..

Dear Punter,
Complain to your md that since more than 2 months of joining u r not given letter by hr. ALso tell him that the letter in soft copy was full of errors like doj....etc.

@Nitu: I did tell him long time back...even after that I still didn't receive from MD..Asked him yesterday to give the letter...but he didn't give...said will ask the receptionist...I asked the receptionist..she says I don't have it...it is with Sir...You'll have to collect it from him..I can't do anything..that's what she says

Tell receptionist that as hr, its her responsibility, not yours to get your letter signed from md and then handover the same to you. She will say, I have given to md but, he has not signed and given back. Then you tell her to do the followup to md atleast thrice in a day till she gets signed letter.
In short, by soft words or aggresion, make her realise that its her job to give u signed letter and for it, whatever follow up is required, needs to be done by her.
Its possible that u may get into heated argument with her. But, do it.

Dear Punter,
You may or may not get the appointment order.Leave it.While during your job,look for a good change.Because these type of company MD and HR won't help you for anything.Better try to get job in some MNC's.
All the Best!

@Nitu: I'll try again tomorrow...hopefully I don't get into an argument with her...even for small matters she argues and starts screaming on top of her voice...anyways, thank you so much for ur advise..appreciate it :)
@venkat: I hope i get it...otherwise its a waste of 2 months for me...I am not going to leave them that easily...

two advices,
1. dont get into fight with ur md at any cost.
2. with hr, keep your volume low. If she shouts, tell her softly that do not talk to me loudly.

Punter, how strong is your company (as in employee strength),are there any seniors, mentors, experienced people in the firm who could help/advice you in this regards? This would be the best option.
....else if you insist in getting an Appointment Letter (which is your right) do it as smoothly as possible.
Break the ice with a White lie....pretend some function in your home and you distribute sweets to your MD/ HR and some more colleagues....by now you would have witnesses that your were working here....maybe this would trigger your Boss in recollecting & saying "Ah...he is in my company..." and may give your Appointment Letter.
Simultaneously keep collecting/ ammassing evidences for your employment in the company, considering if the company claims otherwise you are safe.....
If all options fail...find another job and only then exit smoothly. (try not to roughen up)..
