Probation Period Dilemma: Are Paid Leaves Granted if Probation Ends During Long Leave?

Can anyone let me know if a person is on long leave during the probation period and their probation period ends during that leave, whether they will be eligible for paid leaves after the completion of the probation period or not?

Dear Upasana,

You might need to review your offer and appointment terms to clarify the following points:

1. If your policy states that an employee is eligible for leave only after confirmation.
2. If an employee takes leave during probation, it would result in Loss of Pay (LOP), and the salary in lieu of the long leave is not considered.
3. If confirmation is provided with effect from the completion date of probation, the employee becomes eligible for leaves from that moment.
4. If confirmation is not granted from the completion date of probation, the management needs to decide whether to grant leave or not.

Please ensure these aspects are clear to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings.

Thank you.
