Working for a less salary in the probation period

Hello,

Is it legal to have a lower salary during the probation period and a higher after passing probation? (it is a hidden way of making the employee pay for visa).

Also, is it legal to ask a future employee, not on their visas to produce work for them (without salary)?

Thank you

Regards

R.

Dear Questioner,

A probationary period usually gives both parties an opportunity to explore the job and the performance of the employee.

Some employers will offer a lower salary and an increase at the successful completion of the probation period which is not against the law.

It is illegal to work without a proper visa. Penalties would apply to both the employer and the employee.

Good luck.
