5) Period of Probation:

All employees of an organization go through this as the concerned organization needs to test the new joiner to see if he/ she is fit to work in the company. This, usually, is a wary phase because many organizations mention as to how an employee under the probation period can be terminated without prior notice and also pay. An employee must be comfortable with the length of his/ her probation period before joining. Employees must work harder during this period and steer clear of any activity that might jeopardize their employment. This period, though full of road-bumps, is a good learning time for all new joiners as employees learn all aspects of their workplace.

6) Policy of Leave:

Another thing that new employees literally die for is leave. One can never be sure of a workaholic, but most employees literally go ‘TGIF’ (Thank God It's Friday) on Fridays. Apart from regular leave (usually weekends), employees under the probation period are usually not given any day off, except for sick-leave.  Even casual leave is not allowed during this period. After completion of probation period, all employees of an organization are entitled to various types of leaves. One must also keep a check on the holidays one can carry forward to the next year and which ones to encash in the same working year.
