Probation Evaluation Form

How do I assess a new employee before the probation period ends?

Rate a new hire before probation ends and record the recommendation — confirm, extend or end — in English, Arabic or both.

How the probation evaluation works

Enter the start date and probation end date, rate five criteria on a 1–5 scale, add comments and choose a recommendation. If you choose to extend, the form adds the legal limit for the country: Saudi Arabia allows up to 90 days, extendable to 180 days in total by written agreement; the UAE and Qatar cap probation at 6 months in total. HR signs off the decision.

Before you use it

Record evidence, not impressions.
This is a template, not legal advice.

Confirm with the probation confirmation letter or, if it hasn't worked out, the termination letter generator.

Frequently asked questions

When should the probation review happen?

A week or two before probation ends, so there's time to issue a confirmation letter or serve notice before the end date.

Can probation be extended?

Only within the legal maximum and as the contract allows. In Saudi Arabia, probation can be extended to 180 days in total by written agreement. In the UAE and Qatar, probation can't exceed 6 months in total.

What notice applies if I end employment during probation?

It depends on the country. In the UAE the employer gives 14 days' notice during probation. The termination letter generator works out the notice for you.

What do I send after a successful review?

A probation confirmation letter with the confirmation date and any salary change.
