identify the place where the employee will be stationed.

Example: "You are required to perform the duties and responsibilities related to your
position at any division, department or section in the Company or within the Group of

5. WORKING HOURS
This is where the details of the working hours and lunchtime / rest are stated.
Different sample appointment letter puts it differently. The aim is the same.

Example:
"Monday to Friday: 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.
Lunch time: 12.00 noon to 1.00 p.m.
Two (2) tea breaks of 15 minutes each.

(Note that the working hours for shift workers are different.)

This states the number of days given to employees and the number of public holidays
observed by the Company. The number of days of annual leave is subject to a
minimum for certain groups of employees as provided for under legislation. There
 are also public holidays that organizations are required to observe. If possible,
request for sample appointment letter from other organizations so that you can verify
the figures.

provide for this.
10. GROUP PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE (GPA)

11. RULES, REGULATIONS & CONFIDENTIALITY
It is important to state this especially when your organization has no written

Company and will endeavor to your utmost ability to promote and advance the
interests of the Company.

Accordingly, you undertake that:

which you have knowledge or become aware during the course of your service
with the Company;
3. you will obey and comply with all reasonable orders and instructions given to
you by the Company or its authorized agents and observe all standing and
 other rules and/or regulations now in force or from time to time approved by

either party.

other rewards, in cash or in kind, out of any of the Company’s affairs or any of its
subsidiaries or related companies."

organizations have the option of using such retirement age or any other age subject
to legal provisions, if any.

Example:
