Hi, probation can range from a minimum of 1 month to a maximum of 1 year. However, in the case of BPOs, to the best of my knowledge, it is typically 3 months. During probation, one cannot avail of paid or any other leave. In case of an emergency, one has to take leave that is Leave Without Pay (LWP). While on probation, the company can terminate a candidate if misconduct is found, there are performance issues, or if fake documents are presented. Candidates can also choose to not continue with a proper reason and must hand over any equipment, documents, etc.

Yes, a probationer could be terminated without assigning reasons. However, to my knowledge and understanding, if any reasons of misconduct is attributed, the employer bound to adopt the due process.

Hi, I have worked on policy-making with many companies across different industries. Here is a brief overview of how you can create one:
Probationary Period:
- All new employees are subject to a probationary period, typically lasting 3 months, during which their performance, conduct, and suitability for continued employment are assessed.
- The probationary period allows both the employee and the company to evaluate the fit and determine whether to proceed with permanent employment.

While the period of probation may vary from a couple of months to 2 years, it's obvious that recruitments are made considering the skill sets the recruits possess as may be required. However, it's the duty of the ideal employer to put them through a proper process of induction, providing adequate opportunities and guidance for them to learn the pulse and nuances of the firm so that probationers can successfully complete the probation period.
It's also important for reporting officials to closely monitor their performance levels and effectively implement mid-course corrections, advice, and guidance as needed, including issuing written advisories. Additionally, they should assess the need to help probationers realize their inadequacies, if any, and assist them in overcoming them. At times, seniors may take a personal interest in advising probationers to undergo short-term courses with the aim of improving their skills; in this BPO case, courses in English, Hindi, or other vernacular languages could be beneficial.
The Heads of Departments/HR would be required to introduce appropriately designed forms and formats at different stages to facilitate the necessary assessments. In exceptional cases where performance is deemed insufficient for a limited period, there may be occasions warranting an extension of the probation period. It has been observed in many instances that there is a tendency not to document the completion of the probation period and issue letters of completion or confirmation in a timely manner.
