Sir,
Lately; it is noticed that some Members & Officials use the word "Appointment Letter" "instead of Appointment Order". I think; as this is an important document binding employee & employer and always reviewed by several Courts when the relationship strained & referred to Courts ; it can be worded as Apptt.Order & NOT Apptt.letter. By writing as Apptt.letter; the significance & value of such an Imp.document is reduced. Purchase Dept. say PURCHASE ORDER, MATERIALS ORDER, WORK ORDER etc., WHEREAS this Apptt. concern the life of an employee when it goes to Labour Court & other Courts; Hence, it is worth mentioning as APPTT. ORDER & NOT Apptt.Letter. Offer Letter can be OK like other normal letter. though; it also has significant value. As the Apptt. document is a binding contract; it can be termed as APPTT.ORDER. Senior Members Comments/ opinion is requested to adopt a Uniform word.
