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.
