Dear All,
Generally in our company, we state in our offer letter that the probation period would be 6 months. Now, after 6 months, I need to provide written confirmation to the candidate that their probation period has been extended for another 6 months.
I kindly request anyone who has a template for this confirmation to share it with me so that I can prepare and provide the same whenever needed.
I look forward to an early reply.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Yogitha,
The format provided by our friend Mr. Awvik is good and can be issued, but prior to that, as an HR person, you need to comply with a lot of processes.
For any probationer, have you obtained the performance feedback from their concerned HOD? If the feedback on a monthly or bi-monthly basis is not up to the mark, have you, in coordination with the HOD, made any efforts to communicate and improve his/her performance? For all your actions, what is the response from the individual? After imparting the training/performance improvement plan, what is the performance rate?
If you have done all these things and communicated at frequent intervals, you can issue the letter. Sometimes our HR practices will take the feedback of the superior and even issue letters after the completion of 6 months; this is totally against the process and unjust to our role and employee.
The extension should reach the employee at least one week in advance along with all the 6-month evaluation processes duly signed by the individual/HOD & HR. Not only extensions but also confirmations, probation for trainees need to reach the concerned employee one week before the completion of their training/probation period. If the employees don't experience transparency/systems, they feel victimized, leading to high attrition rates and a tarnished image.

Dear All,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I do understand all these formalities. However, I need a format where I can mention that your probation period has ended, and from now on, you will be working as a permanent employee of the company. I would like to request your assistance in providing me with the same format.
I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
