How Long your Employer (Management/Superiors) intend to Keep A Vigil/ Watch the Tasks Performance & Worplace Conduct in case of a Probationer whose Appointment-on-Probation is For that Purpose ONLY?
Some Day the Superior/Superiors have to Make up their Mind Whther the Probationer is Fit to Be Confirmed aganist that Post against which his/her Performance & Behaviour were under Scrutiny i.e. if that was what was the Intent & Purpose.
In any case as soon as the Probation Commences and the Supervising Superior Finds that Lacunae is there but Improvement is possible & can Happen, s/he informs the Probationer about that and advices Improvement visible and definite.

Termination simpliciter during probabtion is unreasonable.
During probation, Partial KT of supervisors and unrealistic targets cannot be addressed.
PIP during probation is still subjective to natural justice.

Expecting 12-14 hours and weekend work has been matched to performance which is not fair in many areas.

Is 240 days for ID act important or any injustice can be justified

Extending the probation period of an employee is a common practice, but it should be done thoughtfully and within legal and ethical boundaries. The rules and guidelines around extending probation periods can vary based on local labor laws, company policies, and industry practices. Here are some general considerations:

Initial Probation Period: Typically, an employee's probation period is outlined in the employment contract and can range from 3 to 6 months. During this time, the employee's performance, behavior, and suitability for the role are assessed.

Extension of Probation: Extending the probation period is usually done when an employer needs more time to evaluate an employee's performance or if there are concerns that need further addressing.

Company Policies: Your organization's HR policies should define the rules and procedures for extending probation periods. This might include the process for notifying the employee, obtaining their consent, and the maximum duration for which probation can be extended.

Local Labor Laws: Some countries have regulations that limit the total duration of probation, or they might require specific notice periods and reasons for extension. Ensure that any extension complies with the labor laws in your jurisdiction.

Reasons for Extension: Clear and valid reasons should justify extending probation. These reasons might include insufficient performance improvement, ongoing training needs, or other legitimate concerns.

Communication: Open communication with the employee is crucial. Explain the reasons for the extension, the expectations, and any additional support that will be provided during the extended period.

Consent: Some organizations might require the employee's consent to extend the probation period. Make sure to follow any consent processes stipulated in your policies or labor laws.

Maximum Duration: While practices vary, extending probation for a few additional months is common. However, it's generally not recommended to extend probation indefinitely. Many organizations limit the total probation period (initial + extension) to a maximum of 9 to 12 months.

Documentation: Proper documentation is essential. Document the reasons for the extension, any discussions with the employee, and any agreed-upon improvement plans.

Fairness and Transparency: Treat all employees consistently and fairly. Avoid any discriminatory practices when deciding whether to extend probation.

Termination: If the employee's performance or behavior does not meet expectations even after an extended probation, you might need to consider termination as per company policy and legal requirements.

Probation period extensions are possible, contingent on company policies and laws. Reasons include performance improvement, skill development, ongoing projects, or evaluation. Duration varies—weeks to months. Comply with labor laws and communicate clearly.
