The Legal Risk Score of a Probation Period Extension Letter Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document specifies that the terms and conditions of employment from the original letter of engagement will continue to apply, which might not account for any necessary updates or changes needed after the initial probationary period.
- The document indicates satisfactory performance but does not detail specific performance metrics or goals, which might lead to misunderstandings about job expectations and evaluations in the future.
- Failure to observe the minimum employment period may lead to an unfair dismissal claim.
