The Probation Period Termination Notice is a crucial document used in Malta when an employer decides to end an employment relationship during the probationary period. This notice must comply with the Employment and Industrial Relations Act (EIRA) and related Maltese employment legislation, which typically allows for termination during probation with shorter notice periods than regular employment termination. The document is essential for properly documenting the termination decision, protecting both employer and employee interests, and ensuring compliance with local employment laws. It should include specific details about the termination timing, notice period, final payments, and property return procedures. This notice is particularly important in Malta's employment framework as it provides a clear record of the termination decision during the probationary period and helps ensure all legal requirements are met.
