The Equality Act 2010: This law prohibits discrimination against employees on the basis of protected characteristics such as age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. Employers should ensure that the letter does not discriminate against any employee based on any of these characteristics.
The Employment Rights Act 1996: This law sets out the requirement for employers to provide employees with written reasons for any dismissal, including dismissal during a probationary period. If an employee's probationary period is not being extended or they are being dismissed following unsuccessful completion of their probation, the employer must ensure that they provide written reasons for their decision.
The Data Protection Act 2018: This law sets out the requirements for processing personal data, including employee data. Employers should ensure that they are complying with data protection requirements when issuing the letter and that they obtain the employee's consent to process their personal data.
The terms of the employee's contract: Employers should ensure that the terms of the employee's contract are reflected in the letter, including any agreed probationary period, and that the letter accurately reflects the terms of the employment relationship.
While not a legal requirement, having a probationary period can be beneficial for both employers and employees. It can give the employer a chance to assess the employee's performance and suitability for the role, and it can also give the employee a chance to evaluate the organisation and the role to ensure it is the right fit for them.
