Also if the supervisor & employee agree in writing to specific objectives to be achieved during the probation period & specific measures of performance as per company policy, can the employee be assessed on other objectives that were not previously agreed upon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579793611910834836.post-34648989322827620182020-05-05T10:06:15.377-04:002020-05-05T10:06:15.377-04:00Hi

I've been working at this company for a long time, I pay my NIS and HS. I don't get holidays and sick leaves. Please advise as this is during the COVID 19 Quarantine. When this is over I don't know if I will have a job? I don't know my rights as a permanent employee of a company.

They said the position had a 6 months probationary period and in that time I would be acting in the position and will be receiving an acting allowance until successful completion of my probationary period and subsequent confirmation. I completely the probationary period without any issues and had a "probationary review meeting" with the HR Manager and my direct report. They indicated that my performance was satisfactory and that I "passed" the probationary period and would be confirmed. I've been acting in the position for a total of going on 16 months now (6 months probationary and going on 10 months since the probation. <br />I am yet to receive confirmation of the position and as such I still acting. I enquired about the status from the HR Manager and he indicated that the Managing Director has to sign off on all promotion and she said she isn't signing of on the promotion. Is this legal? Is there anything I can do? It is becoming very frustrating to me to the point that I'm considering leaving. It's is also preventing me from making a few key life decisions as I was waiting on confirmation to begin the process of getting a mortgage and applying for a US Visa etc. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515171645749377287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579793611910834836.post-6906616347152705362019-10-21T11:28:57.787-04:002019-10-21T11:28:57.787-04:00Good day,
