Confirming Probation Passed Early?

Katapolt

Hi all!

i started a new job in September, with a 3 month probation. I have recently been in the process of buying my first house, and as part of this my lenders want confirmation i have passed my probation before they will release funds.

Ideally, im looking to try and complete asap due to holiday timings, but do you think theres any right way of asking if my boss can confirm if i have passed or not to the lender early?

Its cheeky i know, and i know it puts them in an odd situation which is why im not taking it lightly in potentially asking them, but on the flip side i have 1 month left, and sop far theyve never said anything negative about my work and i have had really good feedback, so what difference does it really make?

I dont even care about knowing the answer directly, but of course if they told the lenders No, i would find out.

I dont know what to do, any help is really appreciated.

For reference, its a small family run business, i am not part of the family though. i just work with the father and his son, theres only us in the office.

I see no reason you shouldn't explain and ask. Probation is pretty much irrelevant to anything in law - you can be dismissed for almost no reason at any time up to two years. So it doesn't commit them to anything whether you pass or when you pass.
