Dear Atul probation period can be 1 Year.What do you mean by Notice period of 3 Months? is it during Probation Period/After Confirmation of Service?

Yes, You can have probation period for 1 year but generally in probation notice period is considered for 1 month ony.

Hi Atul,
Probation period can be 1 yr. also defers from organisation to. since you are in probation 3 months notice will not applicable. general only 1 month can be served as notice while in probation.

How can anyone allow employer to retain her / his original documents? One should not join such org.
Please check your company manpower with that defined as minimum manpower for applicability of the standing orders rules to your state. No state rules permits probation period of one year.

Dear colleague,
In Establishments/Factories coming within the preview of Standing orders Act, the probation period prescribed is for 3 months for 'workmen' category. But the practice prior to this Act was for 6 month's probation which has continued unchallenged.
For Non-workmen category(Supervisory/Executives/Managers) the probation is fixed by each organisation as deemed fit and varies from generally 6 month's to 12 months.
