Probationary period

Also called probation, probation period, probation clause

What is a probationary period?

An initial period of employment. Ontario's Employment Standards Act doesn't require notice of termination for an employee employed less than three months, but a probation clause only limits what is owed at common law if the written employment agreement says so clearly.
