TRIAL PERIOD

Citizens Advice Bureau from Citizens Advice Bureau Upper Hutt

* What is a trial period?

* If I'm employed under a 90 day trial period, can my employer fire me within 90 days even if I haven’t done anything wrong?

* How much notice must I give before dismissing someone I have employed under a trial period?

* I have worked casually for my employer in the past, now they want to employ me fulltime on a trial period. Is this allowed?

* How much notice must I give if I want to leave my job (I’m part way through a trial period)?

* What’s the difference between a trial period and a probation period?

* I have been on a two-week probation period and I didn’t get paid. Can they do that?

* When I applied for a job at a café I was asked to work unpaid for an hour as part of the interview process. Is this legal?
