Does the renewal of employment contract mean there is a new probation for you?

I recently renewed my employment visa under a limited contract.

Am I still under probation even if I already served more than 2 years?

No, you're not. Please check your employment contract, the probation period will be mentioned.

Yes. An employee is under probation on his first contract only and not on a renewed contract, right?

Absolutely right.

Hi

Renewal of the contract does not mean that there would be a new probation for you.
