PROBATION PROCEDURES Clause Samples
The Probation Procedures clause outlines the rules and processes governing an employee's probationary period at the start of their employment. Typically, it specifies the duration of probation, the criteria for performance evaluation, and the rights of both employer and employee during this time, such as the ability to terminate employment with shorter notice. This clause ensures both parties understand the expectations and conditions during the initial phase of employment, providing a structured framework for assessing suitability and facilitating early resolution if the arrangement is not a good fit.
