Is it compulsory to give notice period to an employee on probation? Can we just fire him on one day notice only?

Hi Vineet
It also depends upon company policy!! My company says a probationer has 15 days notice period and an confirmed employee has 60 days... If your company has no such policy you can go ahead with your decision.

Vineet,
It depends on you appointment letter. Most of the companies will do it in one day. But, it would be fine if you can give us more information on this.
Why do you want fire employee?

Dear Vineet,
Reply to your post:
You would have mentioned termination clause in appointment letter (probation & confirmed employees). Follow as per that.
Few thoughts:
1. Why did you hire to fire.
2. Is it due to loss in business?
3. Or totally based on his nature of job?
If the cause is 2nd one, it is what all the world is facing. If it is 3rd one I really feel sorry to him. I can suggest you to have a strong recruitment policy so that it will not effect "any one's career" .
Remember hiring and immediately firing is not a good practice.

Hi Vineet

To fire a non productive employee it is not the correct way to ask him / her to leave in one day. He/She can counter you back that he had got no feedbacks for his non performance.

Please follow these steps and then fire:-

1) Issue a warning letter to an employee stating his / her non performance. Along with the relevant data supporting ur statement.

2) Put the employee on Performance improvement plan for 15 days.

3) Give definite targets to be achieved in those days.

4) Get a clause in Performance improvement plan that failing to achieve the targets can lead to disciplinary actions or even to termination.

5) Employee >= Target - Give him second chance in your company as he/she is genuinely trying to work

6) Employee < Target - Ask him/her to leave the organization.

Thanks Shiv and Pankhuri,
It was a really useful reply.
Actually, The project Managers just mail the HR deparment to fire the employee if they find the employee non productive.
We donot mention anything in the appointment letter.
We'll try to make these changes in our system.
Thanks,

Vineet,
You have no any policy on this.......strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then you can think what type of standard of your company.......
Then why are you thinking .......
This is a story like a tea stall.....stall owner can gate out his helper without any notice......because he have no any policy......

Vineet, Pankhuri is right but 15 days is very short to prove performance / non-performance. You need to give him 6-12 weeks time to improve his performance. Regards DB

Dear Pankhuri, Is it compulsory to give time for improvement during the Probation Period?? Vineet

I Think that there is no need for any any such type of notice ,
coz its a job like trainee .
So that , If you are not confirm and company give you an offer / appointment letter mentioning there probetion period .
No need to apply a notice application as per the act / rules .
you can fight from lower to apex court for existance .
