Job Offer/Contract
All new employees should be issued with contract of employment
containing a statement of their terms and conditions of their
employment.
Probation
New employees can be subject to a probationary period which must be
stated in their contract of employment, which may be extended to 12
months in total. During this period every effort must be made to ensure
that the new employee receives adequate training and support to complete
their probationary period successfully.
Two reviews should take place during a six month period, the first at
three months, and the final at the end of the six month period.
If it is determined that the employee has successfully completed their
probation, a letter will be issued to confirm this. If, however after
reviews that an employee’s performance and behaviour does not meet the
required standards, an organisation can proceed to terminate.
