This query is : Resolved
Greetings to all my seniors..
I solicit advice on the issue of probation in the following condition in the service rules:
PROBATION
On initial Appointment
a) All initial appointments shall ordinarily be on probation for a period of 12 months except transfer/absorption/deputation from Government/Public Sector Undertakings or Subsidiary Companies. In the case of persons appointed from Government / Public Sector Undertakings, the period of probation shall be six months only. The Appointing Authority may, however, at its sole discretion either extend or relax the period of probation in case of persons appointed from Government/Public Sector Undertakings.
b) If the performance of the employee is not found satisfactory during or on expiry of the probationary period, his services are liable to be terminated. The Appointing Authority may, however, at its sole discretion extend the period of probation further and the services of the employee are liable to be terminated likewise during the extended period of probation.
On Promotion
a) All promotions shall be on probation for a minimum period of six months.
b) If the performance of the promoted employee is not found satisfactory during or on expiry of the probationary period, he is liable to be reverted to his original post. The Appointing Authority may, however, at its sole discretion extend the period of probation and during the extended period of probation also the employee will likewise be subject to reversion to his original post.
During the period of probation/extended probation, an employee shall be liable to be discharged from service of the Corporation or reverted to his original post without notice or assigning any reason thereof at the sole discretion of the Corporation.
Total period of probation shall not exceed 24 months.
Facts:
1. The querist joined the PSU from a central Govt Job.
2. The character and antecedents verification has been completed after 6 months and 15 days.
3. Till date date the querist has not received the confirmation letter/intimation regarding extension of probation period /intimation regarding shortfall in performance.
Queries:
1. Whether the employer can keep the querist under probation or extended probation without intimating the querist?
2. Whether the employer can extend the probation as on today?
3. the advantages of a confirmed employee over the probationer.
Thanking you all in advance
Thx n regards.
