Need Help Drafting a Letter to Extend an Employee's Probation Period? Let's Discuss!

Hi,

Can anybody help me with a sample letter for extending the probation period?

Thanks in advance,

Riji Nair

Hi Riji,

Attached herewith is the format required by you.

Hi Maryann,

Please find below some amendments to the earlier posting.

Note that if you are extending the probation of an employee, it means that there is a problem you want to deal with. It is, therefore, fair that you give reasons for the extension so that the probationer can improve upon his or her performance.

This letter should not be in memo form but in the format like the appointment letter. "Yours sincerely" was used because he is currently a staff and not, in the strictest sense, an outsider. Also note that these are the new trends in letters with salutations like Dear Mr./Mrs./Dr./Rev., etc.

You should always put your name and designation.

Please let me know your reactions.

Hi Riji,

Paa is right. Whenever you extend the probation period, you should always state the reason for extending.

Mr. Shiva,

Probation means the initial training period in which an employer puts the services of a new employee. Normally, this period is 3 to 6 months, which may be extended further at the sole discretion of the employer. According to the terms and conditions of the appointment letter, during the period of probation or an extended period, the services of such an employee can be terminated without assigning any reasons or notice thereof.

Hope it is clear to you.

Dear Mr. Sivadasan,

Can we extend the initial probation period to 12 months? Should we adjust the terms and conditions accordingly? Please assist me.
