There is a full-time employee working from Turkey. His offer letter specified at-will employment, which was shared by a former HR. I'm now the company's new human resources manager, and I'm working on the employment contract. Is an at-will job subject to a probationary period? Note: we do not have a foreign entity or a branch. Please suggest.

At-will Employment and Probation
When you have an 'at-will' employment contract, what is the need for probation? Reportedly, you do not have any establishment outside the country. The concept of at-will employment is not applicable in India; here, you have the protection of labor laws regarding persons in the workman category.

Since you don't have a foreign entity, the contract will be governed by Indian laws. Under Indian laws, at-will employment is not recognized either under the Industrial Disputes Act or under the state-specific Shops Act unless the employment falls in the exempted category.
Similarly, probation is also not a statutory requirement. Having said that, a minimum employment period is required before a person becomes entitled to a notice period. Therefore, that period is considered a probation period.
