PROBATION REVIEW
Hire Well by Career Calling

Use this for a fair, documented conversation before the probation period ends. Regular check-ins beforehand mean nothing here should be a surprise.

IMPORTANT: If you are thinking of not confirming someone's employment, get advice first. Employees keep their entitlements during probation, including notice. See Fair Work's probation and unfair dismissal pages.
