Frequently asked questions

Is a salary hike mandatory on confirmation?+

No. It depends on company policy. Many companies confirm without a revision and review pay at the annual appraisal.

What if the confirmation letter is delayed?+

Confirm with the correct effective date and pay any arrears of revised salary from that date.

Does notice period change on confirmation?+

Usually yes. The longer post-confirmation notice period stated in the appointment letter starts applying.
