Can my employer extend my probation period?
A probation period is a period of time at the beginning of your employment, usually specified in your employment contract, during which both you and your employer have the ability terminate the employment at any time. Probation periods allow both parties to assess the suitability of the candidate and the role, without imposing an obligation on your employer to warn you about your performance prior to deciding to terminate your employment. However, if you are terminated during your probation period your employer must still give you a minimum period of notice under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (“FWA”).
