Hello Everyone,
My self Rutvi Khandwala, working with an IT Company as HR Professional
In my last company i was used to sign on offer / appointment/ Experience and relieving letter.
I have joined my new job a few months back and here my director insist me to keep him as signing authority
So just wanted to know, does it mean anything wrong. When i asked him at very first time issuing a letter, he said "signature should be there of directors only, what in case Hr change her job. "
Some how i gives bad feeling when we are not allowed to sign on letters when we are serving there.
Can anyone suggest me, what should i do in this matter ?
Regards,
From India, Mumbai

Dear Rutvi,
Generally HR related letters/notices/certificates are signed by Head-HR of the company, even there are companies where signing authority can be anyone from HR for particular communications decided by the Head-HR, but apart from all these as per my knowledge deciding a signing authority for these sort of communications is decided by the management itself. So don't carry a bad feeling over it and go with the management policies, because this wont be a single company who is doing so, you may encounter the same in your future employment's too.

Hello,
Relax. What the Director is saying is NO reflection on your ability or skills.
First, you are new to the organization. Second, the management is not confident yet to entrust this responsibility to you.
Barring, statutory requirements like under Excise, Bank Cheques, Factories Act and the like, the signing authority is based on the organization's policy considerations and is generally bestowed upon the person responsible for the function and one who has gained confidence of the superiors. It also depends upon the volume of work and the free time one has. In your case the reason/s for lack of confidence may not be attributable to you at all! Confidence in someone else"s abilities is a matter of individual perception.
I would suggest that you should just wait and watch for some more time before drawing any inferences and considering any alternatives.
I would again say, Relax!!

The directors or the Board has the discretion to delegate powers to other officials in respect of running the affairs of the company and thus it is they who form the policy in a company. If a company decides that all letters shall go under the signature of the directors, then it is the policy of that company which you. need to respect.There is no need to be unusually perturbed over the issue.You concentrate now on how best you can discahrge your functions as HR in teh company. Once you gain the confidence of the directors, they can delegate the function of signing letters to you.

Dear,
The Director or the CEO has to authority to appoint or dismiss an employee. Sometimes they delegate their authority to down line managers who might be from HR or any other discipline. So in this case, if the Director is not comfortable at delegating, you need not worry or take it otherwise. However it is the HR Managers on whose recommendations/signature he will countersign. So let the responsibility be shouldered by the Director. It is good for HRM.
Best wishes.
