Setting probation end date and leave requests during probation
What is Probation?
It is a trial period of employment for new employees that is commonly from 3 months to one year. You can set the length of this period in the employment contract. During probation, employees are exempt from most contractual terms, and benefits such as paid vacation are often not applicable until the employee is confirmed in their role.
