Dear All,
I am an HR professional working in a manufacturing company. I would like to inquire whether there is a probation period for a new employee. Can they take leave in the month they join? For instance, if they start on the 22nd of August, are they allowed to take leave without any deductions from their pay, such as casual leave?
Kindly guide me on this matter.
Thanks,
