Is a probationary employee entitled to the same status as a permanent employee?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Morin v. Canada (Attorney General), 2005 CHRT 41 (CanLII):
A probationary employee does not benefit from the same level of job security as a permanent employee. Employees on probation are meant to undergo a period of testing, demonstration or investigation of their qualifications and suitability for regular employment as permanent employees (Jacmain v. Attorney General (Canada), [1978] S.C.R. 15 at 38). Probationary employees may be terminated if, in the employer's judgment, they have failed to meet the standards set and are considered to be unsatisfactory.
