Dear PAO,

A business process outsourcing (BPO) company hired me as a customer service representative. After six months, I was informed by our team manager that I did not meet the qualifications for regularization. However, our team manager offered to extend my probationary status to two months and gave me a list of areas for improvement, to which I agreed. Can I be considered a regular employee since I already finished my six month-probationary period?

May

Dear May,

|A probationary employment allows the employer to evaluate whether an employee is suited for employment in the business. As a general rule, probationary employment shall not exceed six months from the date the employee started working. However, the Supreme Court recognized certain exceptions to the general rule.
