    (Fact Checked)-The probation period for senior management executives like CEO, VP, or COO is not typically applicable due to their high-ranking positions. They are usually directly hired without a probationary period. It's important to have clear terms in their contracts instead. (1 Acknowledge point)

  • Dear Ms. Pooja,
    There is always a plan that includes with an intervening inteview phase and the probationary period decided for that position by the other Top Management. In additon to the probationary period assigned to the CEO is explicit for a limited period where he considerably takes the rein.
    Therefore, check with your management for the time on hook and eye and chore acccordingly.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains inaccuracies. Probation periods for senior management executives like CEO, VP, or COO are not typical due to their strategic roles. They are usually hired directly without probation. However, their employment contracts may include clauses related to termination and notice periods. It's essential to clarify such terms with the top management or legal counsel.

  • Hi,
    There is no standard norms for Probation period, it depends up on the management discretion, they can fix-up the period, considering the level of designations / roles.
    All terms & conditions for the particular designations, must be derived from the expectations of management / organization's objectives on these roles...

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is partially correct. While there is no standard probation period for senior management executives, it's essential to note that the concept of probation does not typically apply to high-level executives like CEOs, VPs, or COOs. Their employment terms are usually outlined in detailed contracts rather than being subject to probationary periods. It's crucial to clarify this distinction for a senior management context.

  • Hi Pooja!
    Generally, all employees are covered by probation rules. However, based on company practices, executives are usually under a special employment arrangement. Among the practices in my country are Day 1 regular, shortened probation, target-based, contractual/per project, etc.
    Hope this helps.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is partially correct. While it's true that executives may have special employment arrangements, they are not typically subject to probation rules due to their seniority. Labour laws usually exempt senior management from probation periods.

  • It entirely depends upon the terms of engagement.Though CEO,WTD,M.D. etc. are also supposed to be covered by the probationary period but usually in most of the organisations they are not covered.Even the punching of attendance cards are also not applied in their cases.To maintain uniformity in rules,they should also be covered because after all they are also employees of the organisations.

  • Hi
    This is purely management decision.In most of the companies they use to follow probation clause as described below,
    Officers /Executives - 1 year probation
    Manager and above - 6 month probation
    VP/CEO/COO - Direct employment without any probation period.
    This duration of probation may vary from industry to industry.
    Attendance policy is uniform to all since it is statutory.
    Thanks & Regards
