What is the process for confirmation for any employee as it's mentioned in the offer letter for 6 months as a probation, but he has been working for more than 1 year and still has not been confirmed? He has received all the benefits like PL, SL, CL. Will this employee be considered a confirmed employee or still be regarded as a probation serving employee?

Hello Rohit,

Usually, probation is 6 months, and then the employee gets confirmed. It depends on his performance whether to confirm him in the 6-month probation period or extend the probation period by 3 months or so. You will have to check your appointment letter terms to see what it states about the confirmation period.

Furthermore, a confirmed employee will be eligible for leaves. However, it depends on the company policy, as some companies grant leaves (sick leave and casual leave) during the probation period instead of enforcing them as unpaid leave or providing employees with advance leave.

Hello Mr. Rohit,

If the employee has completed his probation period, kindly collect the probation performance assessment form from his HOD. Based on the rating and HOD's remarks in the form, you can either confirm him, extend the services, or discharge the services.

There is no automatic confirmation unless otherwise specified in the company's standing order or appointment letter. If it is stated in the letter of appointment that the employee will get confirmed only when he is communicated of his confirmation. There is no law which prevents an employee on probation to get leaves. If he has been working for more than one year, naturally, he should be eligible for Earned Leave (PL) besides being eligible for casual leave and sick leave to which other employees of the company are entitled to. Even a notice and compensation for retrenchment is required to be served to him if you want to retrench his service for any reason for which retrenchment can be done. (Please note that this applies to retrenchment following section 25F or 25N of ID Act.)

Though a probationer can be terminated without assigning reason for termination, it will be illegal to do so if that termination causes a stigma on him. Since he has been working with you for one year and you have not appraised him and found any negative thing about him, termination would cause stigma. Therefore, if you have not changed the status of the employee, you should do it now. Obviously, you should collect feedback from his reporting officer, but only for the sake of complying with the formalities.
