Guideline. A qualifying period is different than a probationary period. • A qualifying period applies to existing employees whereas a probation period applies to new employees. • A qualifying period gives an employee time to decide if they want to return to their former position. • During the qualifying period the Employer will assess the employee’s ability to perform the duties of the new position and may decide to return the employee to their former position.
