Hi everyone,
Could you please tell me how beneficial it is for company or employee to keep new joinees on probation of six months or so. If we avoid probation period and hire candidate as confirmed employee from day one, how does it effect company or employee.
In past when we had the probation clause, we faced the situation wherein candidate has joined the company but left within a week time without intimating anything since they were on probation and they were not bound to give notice.
Also appreciate if somebody provide me sample of an appointment letter which covers all the possible legal aspects.
Looking forward to your reply.

hi hina,
It is during the probation period that you really understand, whether the quality of the candidate you selected really merges with the companies rules and work culture. By monitoring him closely you get an idea whether the person is really suited for the department or should be somewhere else.
In most companies, there is a clause in the Appointment order, which states that during probation period, if the performance of the said candidate is not upto mark or some discrepencies noted, then the company has the right to terminate the services of the employee without giving prior notice.
Also during probation period, the employee may not be eligible for the full term leave policy of the company..For ex he can take only 1 leave per month instead of opting for the different casual or sick leave as the other confirmed employees can.
It is always safe to opt for probation period rather than confirming the employee in the first appointment itself.

Hi friend,
The probation is an essesntial element in the terms of an appoitment of a person.
You have the liberty to dispense/terminate with the services of an employee on probation at anytime without notice or reason if the employer is found him unsuitable for the position over a short period of his assessment. A clause is to be incorporated in a letter of appointment/contract to the effect that the employer can terminate the services of a probationer at anytime without giving reason or notice in order to invoke his rightto do so. Care should be taken to see that the oredr of termination should not be in consequence of his dismalperformance/ undesirable conduct and it should simply state the clause under which teh termination is effected.
If you need any furthur leaglelucidation,please feel free to ask for.
Thanks & regards.

Hello Hina. I would rather a new employee leave within the week instead of hang around for months creating discontent amongst others and costing the organization more when they do decide to leave.
