Hemlata says
I am working in State Government organisation. I had been promoted in the year 2015 March. I am already a regular employee of the company and had successfully completed my entrance probation period.
Now as i have been promoted, as per order of promotion I am on probation for two years. during these two years, I had applied for CCL of four months. The HR of my company says that as I was on Promotion probation thus my seniority will be effected and my probation period will be extended.
Kindly clarify whether probation period on promotion will be extended for taking CCL or not?
