What is Employee Probation

Employee Probation is a period of time that an employer provides to newly recruited employees in order to understand whether they are suitable to the positions which they have been hired for: they have to stay under attentive supervision during the whole probatory term, while they are expected to demonstrate their capabilities, prove their eligibility for the job, show a degree of their competence and willingness to get full employment (with a regular level of salary and benefits, while probation term is usually compensated at a lower rate). 

Another type of employee probation is a disciplinary probation (“a second chance”) – a time given to an employee by the management to enable this person to prove his suitability to remain with the company after he had committed certain misconduct or mismanagement which is incompatible with his current role, job, or corporate ethics. When managers consider that giving a second chance to an employee is rational, this person will be introduced to a certain plan (probation term) during which this employee will stay under specific disciplinary supervision so he can prove that misconducts or mismanagements will not re-occur.
