At the end of second quarter, the training manager called Mr Jain for his performance review. He appreciated his good performance and told him to keep it up. A month later, Mr Jain met the training manager. He requested that his training period be curtailed to Seven months and he may be absorbed as a regular computer engineer. He argued that he had been performing like a regular employee in the department. He would also gain seniority as well as some monetary benefits as the regular employees are eligible for many allowances such as conveyance, dearness, house rent, education, etc. which is substantial amount compared to the stipend paid to him as a trainee.
