FAQ
When a defendant changes employment frequently, abruptly, or for reasons that are unclear, the probation officer should contact the former employer to determine the circumstances under which the defendant left.
Companies can dismiss employees during their probationary period at any time, though most employers tend to make a decision closer to the end of that period to give the employee time to improve.
How to terminate an employee during the probation period Prepare written notice of the probation period termination. Collect evidence supporting the probationary termination. Schedule a meeting with the employee before the probation period ends. Tell the employee they're terminated. File documents related to the termination.
Statutory notice periods At least one week: Employees who have been working between one month (e.g. during probation) or up to two years of employment. Two weeks or more: Employees are given one week of notice for every year they have worked, if an employee has been continuously employed for two or more years.
Standard Condition Language. You must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the probation officer excuses you from doing so. If you do not have full-time employment you must try to find full-time employment, unless the probation officer excuses you from doing so.
During the probation period, can I be dismissed/fired/sacked? If the employer wishes to dismiss the employee during the probation period, technically it would be required to have a valid reason for the dismissal and follow the correct procedure before dismissing the employee.
Yes. Employers can terminate probationary employees at any time without violating labor laws or contract terms. They usually don't give any reason other than ``you failed probation''. This is also legal.
In California, there is no specific probationary period requirement for employees. However, many employers in California and across the United States use an initial probationary period or introductory periods so they can evaluate the performance of new employees.
Being dismissed during the probationary period indicates that you did not possess the experience, skill sets, work ethic, attitude or personality expected for promotion to a permanent position. It is much better to be dismissed during the probationary period than later for cause.
