Frequently asked questions

Should KRAs be included in a confirmation letter?+

It is optional but useful. It sets clear expectations as the employee enters the regular appraisal cycle.

Can a confirmed employee be put on a PIP later?+

Yes. Confirmation does not prevent a fair performance improvement process later if performance drops.

Does earned leave start after confirmation?+

That depends on company policy and state rules. Many companies accrue leave from joining but allow use after confirmation.
