Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
The practice of issuing appointment letters is rare among smaller organisations. This often denies an employee his due benefits and puts him in a disadvantageous position in case of any dispute. Aiming to plug this gap, the Union labour ministry is planning to make issuance of appointment letters a must under the code on occupational safety, health and working condition. The move is seen as a precursor to giving millions of informal-sector workers a semblance of social security benefits.
