Document background
The End of Probationary Contract is a crucial document used in Philippine employment relations when concluding an employee's probationary period. Under Philippine labor law, probationary employment cannot exceed six months from the date of employment, and employers must inform employees of their status before this period expires. This document is essential for companies operating in the Philippines to maintain compliance with local labor regulations and protect both employer and employee interests. It should be used when either converting a probationary employee to regular status or terminating their employment based on failure to meet standards. The document must include specific details about performance standards, evaluation results, and the final decision, as required by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). It serves as a legal record of the employer's decision and helps prevent potential disputes regarding employment status.
