Probationary Arrangement

A probationary arrangement is a temporary employment status that is granted to new employees or employees who have been promoted to a new position. The purpose of a probationary arrangement is to evaluate the employee’s performance and compatibility with the company before making the employment permanent.

During the probationary period, which is typically between 3 to 6 months, the new employee is closely monitored and assessed by their supervisor or manager. If the employee meets or exceeds the expectations, they will be made permanent. However, if an employee fails to meet expectations or displays behavior, attitudes or qualities that are not aligned with the company's culture, they may be terminated at the end of the probationary period.

Probationary arrangements are commonly used by employers to determine whether or not an employee is a good fit for a particular role, department or company. This period also allows employees to learn about the company culture and expectations, as well as get accustomed to their new role and responsibilities.

Overall, probationary arrangements are an important component of the hiring process that can help ensure that employers are hiring the right people for their team, while also giving employees the opportunity to make a good first impression and demonstrate their potential.
