Overview

An Appointment Letter is the definitive contract of service issued after a candidate joins the company. It is a detailed document that replaces the offer letter and outlines the full terms and conditions of employment.

Businesses need this to ensure that the employee is legally bound by company policies, including data protection and non-compete rules. It is the most important document in the HR folder for managing disciplinary actions and exits.

Under Indian law, this letter defines the "Contract of Service." It covers risks related to intellectual property theft, wrongful termination claims, and breach of confidentiality, providing the employer with a strong legal defense in labor courts.
