Nayi jobs me employees ko pehle probation period pe rakha jata hai – test phase to check performance, behaviour and fit. Confirmation ke baad normally job security thodi better ho jati hai. Problem tab aati hai jab probation endlessly extend hoti rahe, ya without reason employee ko confirm na kiya jaye.

Law yahan appointment letter, service rules, aur past practice sab consider karta hai. Agar:

• Probation period fixed thi aur woh expire ho gayi,
  
• Employer ne explicit extension ya termination order pass nahi kiya,
  to kabhi-kabhi courts “deemed confirmation” ka concept apply karne ko ready hote hain, depending on wording.
  

Agar extension ya non-confirmation kiya jaye, toh reasonableness matter karta hai. Purely vindictive, discriminatory, ya mala fide grounds challenge kiye ja sakte hain. Lekin genuine poor performance pe intervention rare hota hai if procedure followed ho.

Employee ko apne appraisal records, warnings, and communication preserve karne chahiye. Silence me years tak extended probation accept karke baad me complain karna weak position create karta hai.

Job ke initial stage me hi terms clear samajhna – “probation kitni, extension rules kya, confirmation criteria kya” – future dispute risk kam kar deta hai.
