Hi Team!
I have a query! I had XYZ working with my company as an independent contractor who used to raise invoices on a day-to-day basis. He was not on the company's payroll. It's been more than 3 months now, and we want to hire him as a permanent employee at our company. Should he serve a probation period of 3 months, or should he not? Please advise.

Dear Sahil,
When an employee joins, he/she is put on probation to assess the quality of his/her work. If the performance is not found satisfactory, then discontinuing the relationship with the employee becomes easy. Probation is nothing but a transit period. In spite of a robust recruitment mechanism, probation is still one more safeguard.
In your case, as the employee was on contract, you are aware of the quality of the employee's work. Therefore, you may not need to follow the usual route of the recruitment process. You may skip probation and give him the status of a permanent employee.
Thanks,
