> In an ideal world a trial period would ensure both the employees and employers are a fit. But that could be abused as well if it becomes the norm. I was talking to our work HR director about this and given that US is mostly "at will" employment, either side could decide to end the employment at any time so a trial period doesn't really mean much. Secondly its hard on the employee if we let them go on short notice so we try to hire from a long term perspective.
