Hiring & onboarding
Probation
Probation is the initial period of employment, commonly three to six months, during which performance is assessed before the employee is confirmed.
Terms during probation (notice period, leave accrual, benefits) may differ. A review at the end leads to confirmation, extension or separation, and a confirmation letter records the outcome.
Probation that silently lapses without a letter is treated as deemed confirmation in many disputes.
In Indian payroll
Set a reminder before probation ends and issue the confirmation letter from the same system. Extensions should be written and time-bound.
