GR L-63316, July 31,1984
there is recognition of the exercise of managerial prerogatives in requiring a
longer period of probationary employment, such as in the present case where
the probationary period was set 1 for eighteen (18) months, i.e. from May,
1980 to October, 1981 inclusive, especially where the employee must learn a
particular kind of work such as selling, or when the job requires certain
qualifications, skills, experience or training. xxx
Under the first method, a probation of, say 6 months, ends on the
same date it started 6 months before.
