A probationary employee is one who, for a given period of time, is being observed and evaluated to determine whether or not he is qualified for permanent employment.
A probationary appointment affords the employer an opportunity to observe the skill, competence and attitude of a probationer.
The word probationary, as used to describe the period of employment, implies the purpose of the term or period (Enchanted Kingdom, Inc. vs. Verzo, G.R. No. 209559, December 09, 2015).
While the employer observes the fitness, propriety and efficiency of a probationer, to ascertain whether he is qualified for permanent employment, the probationer, at the same time, seeks to prove to the employer that he has the qualifications to meet the reasonable standards for permanent employment. (41Escorpizo v. University of Baguio, 366 Phil. 166, 175-176 (1999).)

The concept of probationary employment was, thus, introduced for the benefit of the employer to provide him with ample time to observe and determine whether a newly hired employee has the competence, ability and values necessary to achieve his objectives.
Probationary employment shall not exceed six (6) months from the date the employee started working, unless it is covered by an apprenticeship agreement stipulating a longer period. The services of an employee who has been engaged on a probationary basis may be terminated for a just cause or when he fails to qualify as a regular employee in accordance with reasonable standards made known by the employer to the employee at the time of his engagement. An employee who is allowed to work after a probationary period shall be considered a regular employee.
Employers should be careful in crafting probationary employment since any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of labor (Art. 4, Labor Code). Such favor means regular employment since it offers a better status of the employee.
It bears noting as well that an employee who was not informed of the reasonable standards for regular employment shall be deemed as regular from day one. Thus, it makes better sense when these standards are included in the contract.
As held in Buiser vs. Leogardo, an probationary employment may also be extended upon mutual consent of the parties. This means that instead of terminating an employee who failed the trial period he is given a chance. Now, to avoid ambiguity, the employment contract should already provide a clause for this just like what is found in this template.
A sample contract will help employers to overcome the technicalities of this form of employment. This template is easy to edit using the Word application. This version is using MS Office 365.

Probationary Employment Evaluation Packet Super 5™ – Soft Copy Editable Template
₱2,795.00How to Evaluate Probationary Employees Using the
Probationary Employment Evaluation Packet Super 5This is a soft copy template saved in Word File and editable in Word Document.
This contains the sample terms, conditions, clauses, and provisions of the contracts described and the forms included.
See the Description below to view the Contents of this soft copy template.
One of the challenging aspects of monitoring the performance of a probationary employee is the establishment of performance ratings, metrics, or measures.
It is a settled rule that a probationary employee who was not apprised of the reasonable standards of performance to become regular employee is deemed regular from day one.
The same effect occurs for employees who have been with the company for at least six months and have not undergone performance evaluation. No matter how low did the probationary employee perform if the employer did not rate him with reasonable standards terminating the worker for failure to qualify is extremely risky.Read more..
Thus, when dealing with probationary employees, the company should have:
- Reasonable standards
- Made known such standards at the time of engagement
- Performance measures
- Periodic evaluation
- Clear rating plan, form, and template
With the right tools, the life of the employer would be bearable and the risk minimized to manageable level.
It is indeed a nerve-wracking exercise to devise the reasonable standards from scratch. However, this is made easy by the new products of LVS Rich Publishing known as the Probationary Employment Evaluation Packet Super 5.
This new soft copy product provides the proposed standards required for probationary to perform to qualify as regular employee. There are metrics with ratings and weights. There is a sample evaluation form where the employee rates himself and his superior then an average of the two ratings is obtained.
The rating system covers Performance, Punctuality/Attendance, Behavior, Teamwork, and Initiative. The total weight is 100%. If the probationary receives an average weight below 75% in one month, it shall be deemed as failure to meet the standards which may be ground for dismissal based on failure to qualify. Of course the buyer of this product can change the weight and rates according to what is considered applicable and necessary.
Performance metrics representing 30% of the total weight is based on Business Knowledge, Output/Production, Resourcefulness, and Teamwork.
Punctuality/attendance is one of the tricky areas to measure. The template though considers this as already 100% of its weight. It is given 20% weight subject to deduction of 3% for every instance of tardiness and 4% for every instance of unauthorized absence.Behavior is another matter of the same level of difficulty. To rate this, it is already pegged at 20% subject to deduction for every citation or violation of company rules, such as:
- Written warning – less 2%
- Stern warning – less 5%
- Written reprimand – less 6%
- 1-day Suspension – less 7%
- Longer suspension – less 10%
As to Performance metrics, sample rating spread can be seen in the Performance Review Template Excel File under the “Performance Weights” Sheet.
The rating system provides the following:
Outstanding Performance (OP) – Highest performance rating Reserved for individuals who continually achieve outstanding results and utilize their abilities in making contributions beyond their primary areas of responsibility.
Commendable Performance (CP) – Performance is above the expected level for the position making contributions beyond expectations in completion of assignments.
Effective Performance (EP) – Performance consistently meets supervisory expectations of the position requirements in making a valuable contribution to the overall objectives of the Group.
Marginal Performance (MP) – Performance does not consistently meet normal expectations and position requirements, improvement is required.
Unacceptable Performance (UP) – Performance fails to meet normal expectations and position requirements. Termination should be considered unless improvement is demonstrated in a short period of time.The buyer can Print Sheet 1 of the Performance Review Template Excel File entitled “Proby Metrics” Sheet as form in Performance Review where ratings shall be filled in. This will be used to tally the evaluation results based on performance metrics.
The Evaluation Packet comes with the Evaluation Guidelines file in Word document that will guide the user on how the evaluate the probationary employee using this product.
To further make this exercise easy, a sample evaluation of probationary employee is provided just to give the user a complete picture of how it will be done.
Upon purchase, the following files will be sent to the buyer’s email account from LVS’ Gmail Account:

Guide on Employee Compensation and Benefits Vol. 1, Second Edition
₱1,198.00This book is the 2nd edition of one of ATTY. ELVIN B. VILLANUEVA’s best selling titles Guide on Employee Compensation and Benefits Volume 1. HR Practitioners, both new and veterans will find this work useful in understanding and keeping up with the latest rules, doctrines and principles on labor standards.
The subject matter of compensation and benefits is among the edgy topics which most HR practitioners, business managers, and even owners find challenging. As always, anything that deals with human psychology on pay, rewards, motivation, and equity requires full attention and creative solution.
Read more..
This work discusses the labor standards most particularly the exceptive rules where most practitioners are often blindsided. The rules and doctrines are tackled with illustrations and sample computations. Presentation of pay computations proceeds from the ordinary day, regular holiday, special day, and rest day or a combination of both holidays and rest days. These affects the daily rate, overtime, and nightshift differential.
There are relevant Supreme Court decisions where the high court interprets crucial areas of compensation. Rules on successive regular holidays are shown with example. Also, illustrative cases for overtime and nightshift differential are shown using different hours worked such as 2-hour, 4-hour, or even 8-hour OT and nightshift with computations when these coincide or concur on the same day.
The author also delineates the impact of benefits when the clock strikes 12:00 midnight such as on overtime, holiday pay, etc. This is particularly crucial for those with call center operations. Also discussed are company-initiated benefits rule, management prerogative to require overtime work, rule on travel time, brownout and other time-related issues.
New laws and rules are correlated with existing ones in the Labor Code such as the lactation period, primer on expanded maternity leave law (with sample salary differential computation), DO 178 and DO 184 on breaks mandated for employees who need to stand or sit for too long at work and the telecommuting act which affects the hours of work depending on the arrangement between the employer and employee.At the end of the day, compensation and benefits is an interesting area of HR/Labor practice. The key to harmony is understanding of the rules and it starts with acquisition of knowledge.
