Who Can Legally Sign an Appointment Letter in a Limited Company?

Hi,

Who are the persons authorized to sign an appointment letter in a limited company?

Anybody authorized by the board of directors is authorized to sign. They may also sub-delegate their powers to their subordinates. A clear order in this regard will suffice.

Dear MK,

In a limited company, the board of directors does not always have time to sign every appointment letter. The HR manager is responsible for signing appointment letters, and sometimes the CEO of the company may also sign them. However, HR has to issue many types of letters regularly, such as offer letters, increment letters, appreciation letters, confirmation letters, etc., and each time, the same person's signature should be there. Therefore, it is advisable for the appointment letters to be signed by the HR head or HR manager.

Hi,

It is advisable to have the Factory Manager sign the appointment letter. Additionally, please keep in mind that the appointing authority must make the decision and sign during the termination of employment.

Dear sir,

My company name is Accurate Transformers Ltd. This is a publicly listed company dealing with transformers, electric meters, and electric equipment.

I am requesting the format of an appointment letter for the CEO. Kindly email it to me at nishu_200687@yahoo.co.in.

Thank you.

The board of directors is responsible for deciding the authorized signatory for appointment letters. The authorized signatory can be a VP or an HR manager as directed by management. I serve as the authorized signatory in my company for appointment letters, but offer letters are issued by the HR officer since the company is not very large. In bigger companies, these roles are typically performed by managers, as directors often do not have time for these tasks.

Can anybody help me to provide a draft regarding authorization to a person who is authorized, that he be empowered to recruit, discharge, dismiss, terminate, retrench any employee/worker, subject to the approval by the Management and to comply with provisions of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947 and other labor laws.
