About This Webinar
Probation periods help employers assess new hires and ensure they meet performance expectations, but recent changes to employment law have changed the landscape.
The European Union (Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions) Regulations 2022 introduced strict rules on probation periods, including:
- A six-month limit on probation periods, with extensions only in exceptional cases.
- Proportional probation periods for fixed-term contracts.
This session will give you the tools to stay compliant, manage underperformance appropriately, and avoid common pitfalls when extending or terminating during probation.
