An appointment letter sets out the terms and conditions of employment including designation of a job, emoluments, leave, transfer, notice for termination, retirement age, suspension allowance during suspension, etc,. In case some of such and other important aspects are not enumerated in the appointment letter, the very purpose of issuing it to an employee is frustrated and can spell doom. Thus, no chance should be left for ambiguity. An intelligently drafted appointment letter is a solution to most of the problems that may arise between employer and employees during the course of employment. On the other hand, vague and ambiguous appointment lettersA‚ lead to legal wrangling deep and depressing pitfalls which could have been avoided otherwise. At times, the appointment letters are not issued or even if issued, the important terms and conditions of employment are not spelled out. Accordingly, for industrial peace and harmony and that the employees should know the terms and conditions of their employment, it is always desirable to draft the Service Rules more so when the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, has its limited applicability. The book provides guidelines on selection of employees, drafting of appointment letters, essential features of service rules and also gives numerous model drafts of appointment letters and model service rules.
