Hello Seniors,
I work for a software company based in Noida as Manager HR.
I have few queries,please share your view point on the same -
Case 1.We have one full time employee (Good and senior technical resource with 7 years of work experience, her designation is Lead - Design Engineer) who has worked with us for 5 years (July 2007 to July 2012),then she took maternity leave of 3 months from August'2012 to November'2012 (including one month extension).She has not joined after completion of her maternity leaves,now she has showed her interest in joining us as a part time employee from May'13 onwards.Management is thinking of considering her request and plan is to give her project based job with the flexibility of working either from office or home.We will like to hire her services for 25% of the time in a month.After some months (may be after 4-5 months) she will again be a full time employee.
Q1 Do we need to issue her a separate letter (part time)? If yes then what should be the terms and conditions of the same?
OR
Q2 Shall we close the earlier appointment as full time and hire her as a consultant on part time basis?When she will be ready to join us as full time then again issue a new appointment letter.

Dear Friend,
Senior employees who are other than workman, are appointed based on the understanding with the management and employment agreement in the form of "letter of appointment".
If this employee of yours has shown interest in working part-time; she needs to mention in an application addressing to the Director or HR Head requesting approval for part-time employment from a given date. Based on her application either you may give a consent letter saying "Yes" to her application mentioning the terms & conditions, revised CTC, work nature (from home or office) and period of part-time employment say six months or issue another appointment letter (it's up to you). After another six months if she wishes to continue working part-time you may give an extension for working part-time.
The idea is to written down all understanding between the employee and employer so as to avoid any dispute or misunderstanding in future. Such written documents give more clarity both to employer and employer.
Warm regards,

Hello,
The Option-2 mentioned by you would be the safer bet--BOTH for the employee & the Company.
Given that the employee has worked for 5 yrs, she would fall into the Gratuity-eligible category. So more simpler & clear the relationship is, the better.

She has already worked for 7 yrs and her service is good and required for the Co. . Co. will be benefitted if such people continue as they have got good knowledge of managing the work. If she is not taken on regular basis; she should be given benefit to encourage her to give /contribute more for the Co.
