Difference between offer letter & appointment letter:-

Offer letter is given when:-

Your are negotiating with the candidate & have finalised his salary & other details which he/she may agreed upon.

It's not a final document as she may or may not join your organization...there are instances when the candidate don't join the organization..here he/she is supposed to the accept the same by way of signing the same...here it's important to mention the clause if the candidate doesn't provide the copy of acceptance of his resignation letter then the offer letter stands null & void...

Offer letter entails the following-

1. Position offered.
2. Reporting structure
3. Date of joining
4. Salary in anual CTC
5. Location


Once the employee joins the organization on the basis of offer letter then he/she is given the eappointment letter after recieving the relevant docs like-
* degree certificates
* experience certificates of previous organizations
* Employee Information form

Appointment letter details the general terms & conditions..esp the services one..
