There is no set rule as to what happens immediately after a probation violation is reported. Probation officers have broad discretion to issue a warning, or require you to appear in court for a probation violation hearing. In deciding, a probation officer may consider the severity and type of condition violated, past probation violations or warnings, and other considerations. If you are requested to appear in court, the probation officer will request some form of penalty, which may potentially include jail time.

BillsFan4Ever touched upon the main issues. Also, a lot of times, if a probation subject has a history, they can be violated on very minor things (the terms of probation often include such things as "lead a law abiding life", "maintain employment", "refrain from alcohol and/or drugs", etc.) Many times if the subject has a history, they can be violated for minor things and, upon a finding of a violation, they may need to attend in house rehab or weekends. In other cases where the subject does not have a long criminal history, the probation violation may be nothing more than a warning or an extension of the term or additional (non-jail) requirements.
