Most collective agreements have a probationary period new employees must complete. A common benefit to the employer in having a probationary period is: Question 8 options: it is much easier to terminate employees during their probationary period because probationary employees do not have all the rights/protection of employees who have completed their probationary period the employer does not need to manage/coach the employee during this time, as the probationary period is meant for the employee to prove they know all aspects of the job without any guidance or assistance from their manager. employers are able to terminate employees for any reason they want, such as an employee who declines office social events because they have a child to care for in the evenings. the employer is able to pressure the employee into performing work that is not normally expected of non-probationary employees, as during the probationary period the employee is not able to grieve if they are harassed or discriminated against
