PROBATIONARY/PERMANENT STATUS Clause Samples
The PROBATIONARY/PERMANENT STATUS clause defines the distinction between an employee's initial probationary period and their subsequent permanent employment status. Typically, this clause outlines the duration of the probationary period, the criteria for assessment, and the process for confirming or terminating employment at its conclusion. For example, an employee may be evaluated for performance and conduct during the first three months, after which their status is reviewed. The core function of this clause is to provide a structured framework for evaluating new hires before granting them full employment rights, thereby reducing the risk to the employer and ensuring that only suitable candidates are retained permanently.
