An appointment letter is a document issued to the employees as proof of employment. It is given to the employee after completing a reasonable duration in that organization. An offer letter is also considered an appointment letter, but the difference lies in its format. While an offer letter mainly seeks to confirm the details of salary and other benefits, an appointment letter informs about the employee’s role, job location, hours, benefits, and perks. Appointment letters are used in different situations such as:
- To be shared in-depth job-related information with the employee
- Ensures to uphold employment confirmation of the employee
- Can be a valid proof of employment to an outsider
