Document background
The Provisional Contract of Employment is essential for organizations in India when hiring new employees under a probationary arrangement. This document is typically used at the beginning of an employment relationship to establish a trial period during which both the employer and employee can evaluate their compatibility. The contract must comply with Indian labor laws, including the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, relevant state-specific regulations, and other applicable employment legislation. It includes crucial details about the duration of the provisional period, performance expectations, compensation, benefits, and conditions for conversion to permanent employment. This document is particularly important in the Indian context where probationary periods are standard practice and require careful documentation to ensure legal compliance and clarity of terms for all parties involved.
