Are employment agreements different from offer or appointment letters?

Yes, these vary in their scope, timing, and/or purpose. An Offer Letter expresses the mere intent to hire and outlines initial basic terms. An Appointment Letter formalizes the offer and may act as a basic contract once acknowledged in writing or by conduct. A comprehensive Employment Agreement, however, provides much more detailed terms and conditions, covering rights, obligations, policies, intellectual property, and termination in greater depth. This is essential for start-ups looking to maintain strong governance and internal controls from an early stage.
