Probation period is a period to test the suitability and capabilities of an employee for the organisation. At the end of this period the employer will determine whether the probationer is suitable to be confirmed in its organisation. Further, it has been said that a probationer enjoys the
same right as a confirmed employee in regard to the termination process. Thus, this programme will ensure that the employer understands the legal perspective in handling probationer in relation to managing i.e. their work performance, misconducts, confirmation, non-confirmation/ termination, dismissal and extension of probation.
It will also answer the question whether a probationer can deem himself as confirmed after the expiry of the probation period. This programme provides a practical guide in conducting the review, counselling etc. Participants will also learn the depth study of the court cases pertaining to probationers. Thus, at the end of this programme,
employers would obtain a better understanding on the managementand handling of probationers in their organisation.
