New role & potential impact on probation (and mortgage)

    I recently verbally accepted and new role and just received the offer today.

    It's on more money and since I'm here over 2 years I thought that I won't be subject to a probationary period. I have received my end of probation letter for the current role 1.5 years ago. However, my manager here (he's technical, not HR) has suggested that my accepting this new role would not place me on probation. Linked article below would seem to suggest that I have some legal length of service but before signing contract I want to ensure this. Furthermore, I have received mortgage approval in principle and want to check that I am not going to screw things up.

    My contract says "Confirmation of your appointment is subject to the satisfactory completion of six months probation (exclusive of periods of unpaid leave).This consists of a trial period during which mutual suitability can be reviewed and your employment may be terminated at the Company’s discretion by giving you one week’s notice during or at the end of this period. Alternatively, the Company may choose to extend the probationary period for a further period of up to five months on the same terms

    No previous employment with the Company or any other employer counts as part of your continuous employment with the Company."

    Couple of things, its not unheard of to have a probation for the new role but you should be able to return to old role if new position falls on probation. Secondly probation can only be 6 months since new legislation came in, (there is a clause to allow extension in extenuating circumstances but it can only be in the interests of the employee - eg they where going to let you go after the 6 months as failing probation but it would be in your interest to allow the probation to continue to see if you can overcome issues).
