All About Probation(ਪਰਖਕਾਲ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਂ)

                         Today we will discuss about the term "Probation". Many of newly recruited and promoted employees are very familiar with this word. Actually Probation means testing. Employees are tested during first one or two years of service to check that are they fit for this post or not? Probation of every employee appointed or promoted to a post is determined by "General and Common Condition Service Rules 1994". Let's get some basic knowledge about Probation from these rules:-

• Probation of each employee appointed directly or promoted to a post of Group A,B and C is determined by the rule 7 of General and Common Condition Rules,1994.
• If a person is recruited by direct appointment then he shall remain on probation for period of two years and one year if appointed otherwise. For example in case of promotion.
• Any kind of leave not exceeding six months during or at end of probation, shall be counted towards the period of probation.
• On completion of probation period, the appointing authority may confirms such person from the date of appointment or from the date he completes his probation period satisfactorily and declare that he has completed his probation satisfactory.
• If in the opinion of appointing authority the if the work and conduct of an employee has not been satisfactory or if he has failed to pass the departmental examination then dispense with his service, if appointed by direct appointment or if appointed otherwise revert him to his former post; or extend his period of probation. 

                             Provided that total period of probation including extension, if any,shall not exceed three years.
