Can an employer impose different probationary periods for new employees?

An employer is free to establish different probationary period for different categories of new employees, during which an employee may be terminated with or without any reasons.

 

While different probationary periods may be established for different employees, or different categories of employees, this may make the employer vulnerable to a claim of discrimination. Therefore, an employer should be prepared to justify any differences in the probationary period.
