Probation extended despite good performance

As said before, probation is a red herring. You can be dismissed for any reason (apart from those defined in law as discriminatory) at any point until you have 2 years service. They can just tell you to go with no reason if they like.

Correct but if the OP is dismissed during probation he will receive 1 weeks/1 month notice where as if he is dismissed after passing probation he will receive 3 months notice.

Hence why if I was the op I would not be entirely happy at my probabtion being extend either.

Thanks again for all of the replies....

As 'newbutold' points out its the notice period that is my concern. Finding a job in 3 months shouldn't be too hard, but 1wk/1month would be more of a challenge, particularly at this time of year...

Doesn't seem like I can really do anything though, so I'll just carry on with one eye firmly on the jobs market.
