Hi Seniors,
Greetings for the day!

Is it right practice to share only offer letter having salary details and no other terms and conditions of the appointment and asking to sign the appointment letter without putting date of signature after a month from the date of joining.

No. The offer letter shall contain all the basic terms and conditions of employment. Similarly asking the employees to sign post dated or without date of joining is an unhealthy HR practice. Therefore, please do not join such companies.

Dear member,

What Mr Madhu TK has written is a norm. But there are exceptions too. The exceptions depend on the seniority of the position, whether the candidate has come with a glowing reference, whether he/she has unique competencies, whether he/she is assertive or not and so on. I know a case wherein a candidate had applied for the position of Finance Director. He demanded clarity on the terms and conditions of employment and ensured that he was given an appointment letter well before he joined.

Thanks,

Even when you hire freshers we should not ask the candidates to sign without date of joining mentioned in it. If you are asked to sign such a document, I will say that that company is not a good organisation to work in. It is true that freshers who do not have any previous knowledge about the system in a corporate, they will accept the offer. later they will understand that some date later than the actual date of joining is put in the service records, PF etc. Again, employees who do not find other options may also join such companies. This will lead to lot of disputes in future. Why should we get into these when we have other opportunities?
