Consideration of labor disputes on termination of an employment contract with an employee who has not passed the probation period

In order to verify the compliance of the employee's qualifications with the assigned work, when concluding an employment contract, a probation period condition may be established in it. Therefore, only if the employee does not meet the qualifications for the assigned job, the employer has the right, within the probation period, to notify the employee in writing about the negative result of the work and terminate the employment contract. A probation period can be established at the conclusion of an employment contract for any category of employees, including young professionals who have started work for the first time.; persons under the age of 18; and persons with disabilities. According to paragraphs 2, 3 of Article 36 of the Labor Code, the probation period is included in the employee's work experience and may not exceed three months. For heads of organizations and their deputies, chief accountants and their deputies, heads of branches and representative offices of organizations, the probation period may be extended to six months. An employee who has been hired on probation must comply with the rules of the labor code. The probation period is suspended for the period when the employee was actually absent from work, regardless of the reasons for the absence, with the exception of off-duty rest. In accordance with paragraphs 1, 2 of Article 37 of the Labor Code, if an employee's work results are negative during the probation period, the employer has the right to terminate the employment contract with him by notifying him in writing, indicating the reasons that served as the basis for termination of the employment contract.

An unsatisfactory test result must be confirmed by objective data related only to its qualification. Consequently, no other circumstances can serve as a basis for termination of the employment contract on this basis. The day of delivery of the notification indicating the reasons that served as the basis for termination of the employment contract is the day when the order was issued and the employment contract was terminated. If the probation period has expired and neither party has notified the termination of the employment contract, the employee is considered to have completed the probation period. Example. Plaintiff B.
