The probation cockpit that never misses a deadline
Track every new hire's probation from recruitment to confirmation with a visual days-remaining tracker, weighted evaluations, and automatic escalation the moment a decision date lapses.
The problem
New hires enter a make-or-break window, yet most HR teams track it with spreadsheets and memory. Decision dates arrive with no evaluation done, no manager prompted, and no record of who owns the call — exposing the company to legal risk from silent auto-conversion, rushed hiring decisions, and inconsistent treatment across departments.
The solution
Employee Probation Management gives HR a single cockpit that auto-calculates every decision date, syncs new hires straight from Recruitment, prompts the right manager on schedule, and escalates loudly the moment a deadline lapses — with structured evaluations and a full audit trail from hire to confirmation.
Everything HR needs to run probation with confidence
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Auto-Calculated Probation Timeline
Probation end dates are computed automatically from a configurable policy duration and the employee's start date, so HR never calculates deadlines by hand.
Recruitment-to-Probation Sync
When a candidate becomes an employee, a linked probation record is created automatically from the applicant — no re-keying, no missed hires.
Cockpit Dashboard with Days-Remaining
A kanban dashboard groups every probationer by stage and shows a live days-remaining badge and risk color, so HR sees the whole population at a glance.
Automatic Escalation on Lapsed Decisions
If a decision date passes with no confirmation or dismissal, the system schedules activities and notifies HR managers automatically — closing the single highest-risk gap in manual tracking.
One-Click Confirm or Dismiss
Confirm an employee to permanent status or record a dismissal in a single action, with the decision date, decision maker, and reason captured for the audit trail.
Weighted Evaluations with Configurable Scales
Manager, self-assessment, and peer evaluations score against your own criteria and rating scale, rolling up into a single weighted probation score.
Bulk Cohort Actions
Start, confirm, dismiss, or extend an entire hiring cohort at once from a batch wizard launched directly off the probation list.
Probation Extension with Recalculation
Extend a probation and the end date, reminders, and escalation flags all recompute automatically, with the reason logged on the record.
Guided Setup Wizard
A dependency pre-flight check confirms Recruitment, Calendar, and Mail are installed, then walks the admin through default policy, duration, and criteria setup.
How it works
Hire triggers probation
Confirming a recruitment applicant automatically creates a linked probation record with the right policy, manager, and start date.
Track and evaluate
The cockpit dashboard shows days remaining and risk for every probationer while managers, employees, and peers submit weighted evaluations.
Get reminded, then escalated
Managers are notified as the decision date nears; if it lapses unresolved, HR managers are escalated automatically.
Confirm, extend, or dismiss
Decide with full context — scores, evaluations, and days remaining together — then confirm, extend, or dismiss in one click, with every step on the record.
