Add Comment Question: I was internally promoted at my job, and when they did, they out me back on probation. I was just wondering if that normal/legal? Answer: It is not legal to put you back on probation in the sense that your employer must pay your full severance entitlements if they terminate you in your promoted role. They cannot rely on a new probationary period to limit your termination entitlements.
