    Not my area of expertise, but I fail to understand why it has to be longer than twelve months service. I mean I, and 100s nay 1000s of people, have worked a period of probation. Well then that should be sufficient time to iron out any problems/worries/attitudes/concerns on both sides. Should employees then not be treated as fully paid up members of the crew?
    It would appear as though there is a fundamental flaw in employment law in this country.
    Some of you in this forum should maybe think about making things a fair and level playing field.
    Come on and ante-up and be part of a solution and not part of the problem.
    I mean if you don't stand for something you'll fall for any thing.

    Thank you for those insights.

    It's a year because that is the legal limit set by the good people that govern the land.

    I actually agree with it; as I believe that people can behave for their probation, but keeping up an act for a while year before resorting to type is quite a long time. Often they don't know this until they have 'let loose' thinking that now their probationary is up, they can relax a bit.

    Okay, classic troll behaviour -newbie comes along posts ridiculous question and refuses to engage with people who are wasting their time trying to help... then second (AE?) newbie just happens to chance upon the thread and make similarly inane and ridiculous comments.

    I'm out!
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.
