With significant employment law changes on the horizon, now is a good time to review your approach to probation periods.
Our new helpsheet on probation periods explains why they are an important management tool, key considerations when setting their length and practical steps to help you assess suitability and performance during the early stages of employment. It also highlights how upcoming changes to unfair dismissal rights may affect your approach.
As always, if you have any questions about probation periods, performance management or employment issues, please contact the ITC Advice Service.
