The 6 Month Probation Review document serves as a critical tool in Canadian employment practices, designed to evaluate new employees' performance and organizational fit during their probationary period. It is typically used at the conclusion of a 6-month probation period to make informed decisions about continuing employment, extending probation, or terminating employment. The document incorporates elements required by Canadian federal and provincial employment legislation, including fair evaluation criteria, non-discriminatory assessment methods, and proper documentation of performance-related decisions. It provides a structured framework for reviewing key performance indicators, skills development, and cultural adaptation while ensuring compliance with employment standards and human rights requirements. This document is essential for maintaining clear communication between employers and employees, establishing performance expectations, and creating a documented trail of fair employment practices.
