Document background
The Government Job Appointment Letter is a crucial document in Pakistan's public sector employment process, serving as the formal instrument for initiating government service. It is issued after the completion of selection procedures, whether through the Federal Public Service Commission, departmental selection committees, or other authorized recruitment channels. This document is mandatory for all government appointments and must comply with the Civil Servants Act, 1973, and various other civil service regulations. The letter not only confirms the appointment but also establishes the legal employer-employee relationship between the government and the appointee, incorporating specific terms of service, probationary periods, and compliance requirements. It's used across all levels of government service, from entry-level positions to senior appointments, and must reflect the appropriate pay scales, benefits, and conditions as prescribed by the Government of Pakistan.
