What is this for?
Employees have the right to a 4-week trial period if they accept a new role. If they need more time to train for the role, you can agree to a longer trial period. It must be agreed in writing and have a clear end date.
The trial period should start after they've worked their notice period and their previous contract has ended.
This avoids any confusion or disputes over dates if the trial does not work out. It's a good idea to set out the dates for the trial in writing.
