Hi, In my present company, I have joined as a placement executive two years ago. However, now I am working in a multifunctional role involving HR activities, Admin, Secretarial works, Front office, and Placement executive responsibilities. They are asking me to handle all these activities, and they are not willing to let me go. Surprisingly, I have not received the confirmation letter from my company yet, and the same goes for my subordinates.
Kindly guide me: is this the right place to continue my career? I am feeling very confused.
Thanks & Regards, Brinda

Normally, probation and confirmation are governed by the company's standing orders. There may be a provision in this regard. It may be like automatically getting confirmed after 6 months of probation or like confirmation if not given in writing that the probation is extended for a further period. If your company has no such standing orders, then it may be mentioned in your appointment order.
Even in the absence of such a clause in your appointment order, your act of signing the muster roll itself is proof of your presence for work in the establishment. Legally, there is no need for any letter confirming your service. It is only for mental satisfaction that the same is served. Even if you are not a confirmed employee, you are eligible for all legal rights as an employee. You will be eligible for Bonus (if applicable as an employee drawing not more than Rs 10,000), if a woman employee, for maternity benefits, leave encashment, and on leaving service after at least five years, you will be eligible for gratuity as well. For these, your joining as a probationer will be taken into account. Therefore, don't go into detail about the so-called confirmation; it will come in its own way.

Hi Brinda,
You have found a solution, but don't forget that you are an HR person as well. It is your responsibility to ensure that the systems are in place. If the same scenario persists, you cannot terminate or extend the non-performers after the probation period. Therefore, it would be advisable to inform the management that before the completion of 6 months, a decision should be made to either confirm, extend, or terminate. In smaller organizations, everyone tends to engage in various activities simultaneously, providing you with valuable learning experiences. This exposure will enhance your hands-on experience and significantly increase your employability. However, after around two years, you should start exploring alternative opportunities.

Hi Mr. Kameswarao,
Thanks for your suggestion. The same reason I asked this question is because we are officially facing many problems with our company. Employees are asking a thousand questions about their job confirmation and other details. I don't have the answers. I am trying to push the company in a professional way, but for this matter, management is not supporting properly. They have so many confusions. Because of that reason, I am looking to make a change now, but they are not ready to let me go.
Thanks once again for your suggestion.
