Why this letter is necessary

A Probation review meeting invitation letter is a formal letter that an employer sends to an employee who is on probation. The purpose of the letter is to inform the employee that their probation period is coming to an end and that a review meeting will be scheduled to discuss their progress and performance.

It is important that the letter is written in a clear and concise manner and that the employee is given sufficient notice to prepare for the meeting.

When issuing a Probation review meeting invitation letter in the UK, there are a few key employment laws that should be considered:

  • Employment Contracts: The employment contract should be reviewed to ensure that it sets out the conditions that must be met for the employee to successfully complete their probationary period.

  • Notice: Employers should give the employee sufficient notice of the probation review meeting to allow them to prepare. This may be outlined in the employment contract or in the company's policies and procedures.

  • Discrimination Law: Employers must ensure that the probation review process is not discriminatory in any way. This means that the review process must not be based on the employee's race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation or any other protected characteristic.

  • Performance Management: Employers must ensure that the probation review process is fair and objective, and that employees are given adequate support and guidance to improve their performance.
