Making HR and Recruitment Purpose-Driven

Probation Period: Rules & Regulations in Pakistan Here's a breakdown of probation period laws in Pakistan: Probation Period Duration: The probation period is fixed at 3 months by law. This period can't be extended. Both employer and employee can either confirm or terminate the #employment during this time. There's no option for "maybe"-it's a clear yes or no. Leaves Entitlement: Probationary #employees are entitled to casual and sick leave, along with weekly offs and festival holidays, all with full pay. Denying this right is an illegal practice in #HR. Probation Extensions: As per law, probation cannot be extended beyond 3 months. If no confirmation letter is issued before the end of this period, the employee is automatically considered a permanent employee. Reducing the #ProbationPeriod: Employers can reduce the #probation period to one or two months, but increasing it beyond 3 months is not allowed. Legal Obligation in Contracts: If the terms of employment specify conditions for probation extension, both parties are legally bound to honor these terms. No Probation for Contractual Employment: There's no need for a probation period for short-term or contractual employment.
