I am working in a small IT company. Instead of an appointment letter, I received an employment letter from our organization. Will this be accepted by future companies? Thank you.

Dear Laxmikant,
Did you have an offer letter before you joined the company? If so, it appears that the so-called "Employment" letter is the same as the "Appointment" letter. Kindly read and digest the contents at [Difference between Offer Letter and Appointment Letter](http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-offer-letter-and-appointment-letter) and give some more details. I am based in the UK and am not conversant with the practices in India.

No, I didn't receive an offer letter because when I joined this job, they conducted an interview and told me to start working. When I insisted that I needed a letter, they provided me with one.

Hello Laxmikant Joshi,
This could be this Company's terminology for an Appointment Letter. Why not ask the HR person about this, saying that usually Companies give Appointment Letters -- straight and short? What finally matters in the long-term would be the Experience and Relieving Letters when you leave this Company.

Hi Joshi,
Most standard companies follow the practice of sending an offer letter/appointment advice letter after the person is selected, informing him of his appointment, designation, salary package, joining date, etc., to enable the person to resign from the existing company and join the new company by the date fixed with the relieving letter.
The appointment order with detailed terms and conditions of employment, rules, regulations, reporting, notice period, compensation package (3 to 5 pages), etc., is issued on joining along with standing orders/service rules, leave rules, etc., so that the HR department ensures that the person joins and all formalities of issuing the appointment order and induction are done after joining.
When an appointment order was issued in advance of joining, some persons don't join, and it becomes a wasted exercise for the HR department.
The above practice of first sending an offer letter on selection and then issuing a detailed appointment order on joining of the person can be followed as a general practice.
Request the Cite HR members to comment on the practice, please.
