Hi Jingle,

Thank you for your concern. I am doing very well. How are you? Please check the attachment for the revision letter. Also, could you clarify what you mean by a farewell letter? Typically, we have a Resignation Acceptance letter, Relieving Letter, and Recovery Letter. Please let me know what you are specifically looking for.

Dear Antony,

The sample copy of the appointment letter is very good, but it lacks the disclosure of certain crucial terms of employment. These are:

1. Supervision: The new joiner will be reporting to whom. Who will give necessary commands or discuss the issues for achieving the company's goal. The designation to which reporting will be initially done is required to be mentioned.

2. Attendance: The system of attendance and working schedules should be mentioned in the appointment letter for better understanding by the new joiner.

3. Termination: This clause is missing and needs to be incorporated. It must be made clear from the beginning how and when services can be terminated by either side.

4. Communication: It must be clarified in the appointment letter the mode of communication. This makes both the employer and employee responsible for adopting systematic means of communication.

5. Retirement: This clause is also missing. One cannot continue beyond a particular age. You need to specify the age of retirement. This helps HR to plan accordingly and for management to plan benefits for retiring employees. Long-term manpower planning depends on this clause.

6. Increment: This clause may be added to the appointment letter. But this is applicable where an organization works in a structured manner, which presently is at its minimum.

I think if we consider the above along with the sample appointment letter, the new letter will be quite near to the perfect appointment letter.

  • Dear Anil,

    Thank you for your suggestions. However, I would like to clarify that the document I provided is only the appointment letter. Typically, along with the appointment letter, we also include the following annexures:

    1. HR Extracts - which cover all the points you have mentioned.
    2. STI Plan
    3. Pre-Medical Letter.

    Hi Antony,

    I can't see the attachment for the revision letter. Please, can you email it to me on my personal email ID: ? I mean the relieving letter as far as the farewell letter is concerned.

    Hi,

    An appointment letter is a document that informs a new recruit of their appointment, basic duties, and guidelines. Some organizations provide detailed documents when hiring new employees. The extent of information shared depends on the organization's culture.

    A few points to be borne in mind while designing an appointment letter.

    APPOINTMENT LETTERS

    When the Employer engages a person to do the work in connection with the Establishment, an employer-employee relationship is established. In order to give a legal sanction to this relationship, an appointment order is issued. This forms an integral part of the employee's binding to the company and the parameters under which he has to conduct himself within the organization.

    By employing a person for work, the status "employer" is given to the hand of the organization. Hence, it is not necessary to have a large organization to get this status; even a small-scale unit or a trading concern would have this relationship.

    When a relationship is established, it is imperative that the terms are furnished in the interest of both parties. Though there is no extraordinary law on this subject, the related problems could arise in the absence of a letter being issued. The system requires the following basis: categorization:

    Name and Address

    Designation

    Wage / Salary / Scale

    Period of appointment

    Job responsibility and conduct

    Procedure for termination

    The following types of letters are in general use with specific letters made for certain special categories of personnel:

    Temporary

    Probation

    Confirmation

    Trainee

    Contractual

    Specific Contract

    The issuing of letters in a well understood system helps build a healthy relationship, confidence, and a demarcated way of human functions.
