Hello Moderators,
I just wanted to ask whether the benefits provided in the offer letter to a new employee who is on a two-month probation period, with a monthly remuneration/salary of $10,000, are inclusive or exclusive of the remuneration/salary amount?
Thank you.

What do you mean by benefits, remuneration, and salary?
There cannot be any difference in salary for a probationer or during probation. If there is a mention of salary, and it is Rs 10,000, then that will be paid during the probation period. After two months, sometimes, the salary may be re-fixed based on performance and as per company policy.

Since there is no mention that during probation the employee is not entitled to allowances, he should be paid all allowances and benefits as they may accrue (gratuity will accrue only after five years of service, bonus will become payable the next financial year on the condition that in the current financial year the employee would work for at least 30 days - which he would achieve anyway). The employee benefit of lifetime job security is a new concept for me, but it is not a direct benefit measurable in terms of money. Still, it should be available from day one of joining. In short, as there is no mention that only 'remuneration' will be payable during probation, he should be paid allowances as well. Only then would the salary become an acceptable amount as per industry standards because Rs 10,000 is the minimum statutory wage of an unskilled worker in many states.
