Dear Pooja,

Regarding the appointment order, it should be based on the company policy. If you have one policy for all the group of companies, you need to create a single format that applies to all groups. However, if you have separate policies for each company, then the order should be based on the specific policy of that company.

Additionally, it is important to consider that laws and regulations vary from state to state. Therefore, before issuing any orders, it is essential to take into account the relevant acts and regulations of the particular state.

Best regards,

Pooja,

It is advisable to keep a single offer from the same group. If the prospective employee is needed in both groups, internal discussions should be held between the Group companies, and the offer should be released by the company where the skills are best suited. This approach helps the Group company avoid internal conflicts, and the prospective employee should not take undue advantage of the situation.

Hope this information helps. Please let me know the final decision that has been made.

Hi Pooja,

Having two different appointment letters can create confusion for both the employee and the company, potentially leading to conflicts. Additionally, issuing two different appointment letters may raise questions about whether the employee will receive two different salaries, as an annexure of pay breakup would be attached, which is not only incorrect but also against the law.

To avoid such confusion, you can include points or clauses in the appointment letter clarifying the employee's role. For example, you could state, "The Company reserves the right to transfer your services to any of its offices and/or Group Company, either in India or abroad." This provision would allow the company to transfer the employee to a group company temporarily until a specific task is completed, enabling the employee to fulfill a dual role in both companies at the same cost.

Ultimately, the decision on how to utilize resources lies with the company management.

Best regards,
Elias
