Probation Periods: Preparing for Six-Month Unfair Dismissal Protection

Probation periods are often misunderstood and that’s where many employers get caught out.
 
Used properly, probation isn’t a tick-box exercise. It’s your defined window to test performance, address concerns early, and make confident decisions before full employment rights take effect. This window is about to shrink. With the qualifying period reducing to six months, the margin for error will be far smaller and the risk of getting it wrong much greater.
