An appointment letter is an official document given to a candidate once they accept a job offer, confirming their employment terms. The appointment letter usually includes details like job title, salary, joining date, work location, and company policies. It acts as a formal agreement between the employer and employee before joining. Employees are legally required to receive an appointment letter as proof of their employment terms.
Definitions are general guidance. Your organisation's policies and applicable local requirements determine how a term is used in practice.
