Document background
The Provisional Appointment Letter is a crucial document in the Indian employment context, serving as the initial formal agreement between an employer and a new employee during their probationary period. This document is commonly used when organizations want to evaluate a new employee's suitability for permanent employment while complying with Indian labor laws and regulations. The letter typically includes essential information such as job role, compensation, probation duration, working conditions, and basic terms of employment. It provides legal protection for both parties and sets clear expectations for the initial employment period. The provisional nature of the appointment allows companies to assess the employee's performance and cultural fit before confirming permanent employment, while also giving the employee an understanding of their role and responsibilities.
