Reviewing a new hire's probationary period to determine whether they are a good match for your business is a crucial part of employee management. With the newly released feature for evaluating employee probation, you can now manage the workflow after the probationary duration with ease, regardless of whether the new employee passed or failed probation.
The default probation period is 2 months, but you can redefine the general length of probation in Probation Settings.
Depending on the configuration of your access role, you may or may not have permission to view and edit probation evaluations. Please check with your Admin for access control.
Before evaluating a probation
When creating a new employee profile, whether through manual creation or import, you must select the box labeled "Apply probation" if you want to evaluate an employee's probation.

⛔️ Caution: Opting out will result in exempted probation.

Navigate to Employees > Manage Employees
Find or search for the employee of your choice and click on their name to open profile
Click Action and select Evaluate Probation
Fill in the required information
Probation Start Date: this will coincide with the employee's join date, but you can always change it.

If the result is "Passed", the employee status will automatically be changed from “Probationary” to “Active”
