Default Probation periods - why can they let you go?

Hi all,

Just a theoretical question, as I am currently in my first probation period ever and got me wondering about my security. Obviously the intention is to ensure you are performing by the end of the 6 months. Can they let you go for other reasons - for example, financial difficulties at the company?

Thanks in advance!

Hi MrShed

I take it you are nearing the end of a 6 month 'probationary' period?

I am indeed Al, yes. I am not concerned, just really wondering on the hypothetical situation behind it to be honest(I'm sad like that!).

They can I'm afraid.

Whilst ignoring the term 'probation period,' which actually means nothing, you would need to accrue 12 months employment for unfair dismissal unless you could prove something like discrimination which would be unfair from day one.

But there could be wrongful dismissal which is another matter.

But yes, they can in general.
