Post On Offer Letter And On Appointment Letter

Dear Friends,

Please guide me if the company is giving the post of an offer letter as Assistant Company Secretary and on the Appointment letter "Officer Secretarial", and I received the Appointment letter after 4 months of joining the company. Then, please let me know what I should do and whether I can ask for a salary difference from the date of joining. The appointment letter is dated the date of joining.

Thank you.

You meant to say that Officer Secretarial is ranked above the designation of Asst. Company Secretary. As per my best knowledge, the designation goes this way:

Officer Secretarial -> Asst. Company Secretary -> Company Secretary

Please guide me if I am wrong.

While echoing the doubt of FC Vadodara, however, my sincere advice to you is to bring the discrepancy to the notice of the HR or concerned department in your designation in the offer letter and the appointment letter and get it cleared. If your designation is erroneously mentioned as a higher salaried 'Officer-Secretarial' but you are, in fact, discharging the duties of Asst. Comp. Secretary with a lower pay band, probably you cannot claim any difference.

Dear,

When you receive the paper does not matter. What is the date of the appointment in that paper is important.

There is no relation between the Offer Letter and the Appointment Letter.

Offer Letter - It is a letter issued by the employer to the selected candidate to join with some terms and conditions, like designation, department, salary, location, etc.

Appointment Letter - This is issued by the employer to the selected candidate who has accepted the terms and conditions of the Offer Letter and agreed to join.

If the employer had offered you the position of Assistant Secretary and you joined as Secretary, there is nothing wrong with it. But they should provide you with the Appointment Letter on the first date of your joining, whether as a trainee, temporary, probationary, or regular, it does not matter.

Yes, you can ask for a difference in salary, and the company has to pay that in terms of arrears.
