Appointment letter for teacher is a document that states all the information about details of a job for an applicant seeking the post of a teacher. It is a formal document that the employer sends to present the candidate with a job offer and to outline the aspects of the role. It includes all the items that an applicant should be knowledgeable about such as the joining date, salary, job location, classes’ schedule etc.
It acts as a confirmation that the person is employed for the position. An appointment letter should be kept by the candidate as proof of employment, in case a need for it arises in the future. After an employee receives an appointment letter, they are called in for a final meeting, after which they can join/report to work on the mentioned date. The employer sends appointment letters with advance notice of the joining date so that the candidate has sufficient time to review the offer and determine whether they want to accept the position or negotiate with any conditions.
