Dear Mr. GVRam,

The answer to your first question is given below:
A new position is a different role altogether, and yes, even a confirmed employee can be put on probation for such a new role. Now, it is at the discretion of the management; if the employee does not perform or fit into the new role, they may revert him to his previous position or terminate his services. However, such understanding should be in writing. I believe after passing numerous tests and interviews, the chances of being unfit for the new role would be minimal.

I do not quite understand your second question. Could you please clarify what you mean? Once the probation period is over, a confirmed employee enjoys many benefits that were not available to him during probation. Please elaborate on this with examples or specific situations.

Thank you.

Thank you for your response with valid points, Mr. Kamal. My second point is similar to the first:

Two Class IV (Sub-staff) employees respond to an IJP (Internal Job Posting), one is a confirmed employee and the other is on probation (6 months old in the organization or 1 year).

Now, both qualify in the examination. Should we start a new probation period for both? Since the second employee is already on probation, should we say they will continue to be in probation? No increment is given, but grade promotion is given to the probation employee.

Your opinion on the above case is appreciated.

Thank you,
GVR

Dear Mr. Ram,

Yes, probation shall start afresh for both employees. This is a completely new role, so not only the confirmed employee but also the employee still on probation will have to go through probation again for the term prescribed for that post. The probation period should be reasonable.

Thank you,
