Usually an employee is not allowed any leave during probation..in this case it was justified for medical reasons. It is solely at the discretion of the Employer on whether to extend the probation or not judging by the performance of the said employee.

During the probation period management wants to evalute your performance. if you were on leave for 1 month during 3 month of probation. probation will be extended for 1 month. Regards, ajay kumar

Hi aadhya,
Confirmation depends on the performance level, attitude, behaviour, organisational commitment and on the job application of skills. It also depends on the KRAs mentioned in the JD. If the employee has proved himself to the expectations and level , taking leave on medical grounds should not be a deciding factor for probation appraisal; but if the employee is not meeting the expectations and achieves the KRAs then to observe and review his performance the period can be extended.

Dear All,
I agree with John.
In case, the management decides to extend the probation period for any employee, they need to mention the reasons for the same. If the reason is performance, the employee should be counseled and a Performance Improvement Plan is designed and shared with the employee, so as to monitor and map the employee's future performance over a period of time.
No employer reserves the right to extend the probation or terminate the employee without any reason. However the employers follow their own policies, not the considering the law.
At times, i have observed that employees are asked to leave or terminated and the reason mentioned is 'Performance Issue'. In case, an employee has a Performance Issue, the management needs to counsel the employee and share a Performance Improvement Plan wrt the mentioned KRA's over a specific period of time, if still the performance does not improve the employee can be given a written warning and if still the performance is the same, the employee is either asked to leave or is terminated.
I am looking for the court judgement which talks about the extension of probation period. will post is soon.

Every Appointment Letter has a clause which clearly defines specific conditions governing "Probationary Period".
The management enjoys certain discretionary powers and if in their opinion, such absence from work has adversely impacted the overall work performance of the concerned employee, his/he probationary period may be extended.

Adithya,
First, understand your organization policy regarding leave Management. Any employee is eligible for sick leave in the initial 6 months of the Employment.
Also get to know weather employee claiming the leave is true or not
Depending on his prformance from past 2 months with genuine reason for leave you can confirm the Employee. If management has not satisfied from his performance or level of commiment, then you can really rethink on the extension of his probationary period.

Dear All,
I would like to add something to the discussion.
is there anything mentioned in the appointment letter regarding the leave during probation & extension of probation ? Kindly review the same.
further the management has the right to extend an employee's probation on performance grounds to a maximum of six months. And if the employee was on leave for one full month, this can be a gud reason for extending the period of probation. And pls note that extension of probation is not a punishment given to an employee. it is just a method to find out whether an employee's performance standards meets with the organisation.
more views in this regard are invited.
