"I am a director (manager) in a company"
"Is there no ruling where after XX number of days one is deemed as confirmed?
Is it my duty I must follow up to get a confirmation letter? If it has not been sent its their lack of duty and hence they should not penalise me?
Yes I checked with my Company and they do not have records for my Confirmation letter. I also suspect they will like to take me as uncofnirmed with one month notice as ther is cost cutting on in the company...."
"I do not recollect receiving a confirmation letter."
It is your duty in your own interest too, to retain all documents on record.
It is indeed duty of the bosses to initiate appraisal well in advance and in time to privide or decline confirmation of service, as per well laid and published rules/matrix.
The company should have issued a communication and got it acknowledged from you if it wanted to extend the probation period.
You may go thru the service rules applicable to a Director.
You may succeed to claim deemed confirmation.
However it shall be appropriate to show all docs on record to an able Labor Law Consultant/service matters lawyer/law firm and understand the merits/remedies.........................including for apprehended redundancy/lay off/termination and cost cutting.
