Must my employer give me an appointment letter?
- Yes. An employer must issue a letter of appointment to every employee on appointment OSH s. 6(1)(f).
- An employee without a letter before the Code began must get it within three months of the Code starting OSH s. 6(1)(f).
- Under the Central Rules, it shows your designation, type of employment, skill category, date of joining, wages and allowances, and social security benefits rule 6.
Where this uses the Central Rules, your State's Rules may differ: see your State.
