Many people do find probation stressful because of the perception that they’re being scrutinised: although there’s no difference in the legal rights at 5 months vs. 7 months service, an employee on probation may perceive probation as being a process that is being used to find a reason to fire them. I’ve only heard of one person “failing probation” through my career and they would have been terminated whether the company used probation or not.
Personally, I would never implement probation in my company because it is a stressful process for employees that provides zero value to employers (unless they want to stress out their employees).
- gpderetta 4y agoNormally the only difference is contractual: during probation usually the notice period is much shorter (the legal minimum). That's about it.
- alias_neo 4y agoThis. 2 weeks (or whatever the legal minimum is) during probation, and 6 months at senior/management level in my org.
- ddek 4y agoAvailable sick leave is usually shorter, too. Normally 5 days, converted to 10-15 after probation. Usually annual leave is fully made available from the start, though.
- gpderetta 4y agoHum, never had contractual sick leave in the uk. Normally whe you are sick, you just call in sick.
