Probationary Period

A probationary period is a specified amount of time, typically a few months, during which a new employee's performance and fit within a company are assessed. This trial phase allows employers to evaluate the employee's skills, work ethic, and compatibility with the team and company culture. At the end of this period, both the employer and employee can decide whether to continue the employment relationship. It serves as a mutual opportunity to ensure that the job is a good match before making a long-term commitment.
