Dear Amal,
Yes you can terminate the contract of employment on the basis on non performance if it is mentioned so in the letter of appointment. Only you need to keep ready the record on which basis you have taken an decision of non performance by the employee. Normally, as a practice companies don't prefer to take this harsh decision and prefer to extend their probation period with performance enhancement scheme where some mentor is assigned with the employee who will inspect and help the employee to grow in his career with good performance. Also, it is not so good to terminate any employee on so quick decision as he is dependent on the job and it is harmful for his career as well.

Dear Amal Sherief,
Since the employee is only a probationer and if the contract of employment enables the employer to dispense with the services of the employee if he is found unsuitable,he can do so before confirmation. However, you should note that such an act would certainly be indicative of either the defective recruitment and selection process of the organisation or the lack of minimum skills required for the job by the concerned probationer or both. Entry level jobs in IT or ITES sector do not require extraordinary skill level or great intelligence. Rather such jobs require punctuality, systematic work, manipulative technical skills and strict adherence to time schedules. It is possible that he might be hailing from rural area, perplexed at the very modern institutional atmosphere, introvert and very shy or suffering from some health or personal issues. Therefore, I am in total agreement with the view of our learned friend Manoj. Better counsel him before taking a final decision.

Dear Sherief,
If a person is not performing should not be confirmed. Dear friend, have you ever intimated the person on probation that he is not performing as per expectation during the period. Did you make any sort of counselling on this performance issue.
Just at the end of a period declare a person that his performance is not at all satisfactory, this is really disgusting. This type of attitude by the employer is not at all good, engage to manage the show and dis engage at the end of show saying' Non-performer".
As your posting speaks mangaement can cosider of extending the probation period. On what ground you feel so. Which gives an indication that this probationer has ability and can perform. If that is the case then you well can consider for an extession.
