Appointment & Probationary Status Sample Clauses
The 'Appointment & Probationary Status' clause defines the terms under which an individual is formally hired and the initial period during which their performance and suitability for the role are evaluated. Typically, this clause outlines the duration of the probationary period, the expectations for performance, and the conditions under which employment may be confirmed or terminated during this time.
