Unsuccessful Probation Letter

Probationary employment refers to the initial period of an employee’s employment during which his or her performance and suitability for the position are assessed.

An employee’s probationary period should be in their contract of employment or an applicable industrial instrument (e.g. awards etc).

Where you have determined that your employee’s performance in the role is unacceptable you can utilise this template letter to provide to your employee after meeting with them to advise them they have not passed their probation period and therefore their employment has been terminated.
