Statement of an employee’s trial period

The trial period should normally be counted in calendar days (including Sundays and public holidays). However, a breakdown of the trial period in days of actual work may be provided for by the agreement. You can also adopt the principle of “days of actual work” on condition that you clearly stipulate it in your employee’s employment agreement. In any event, it is important to determine the end of a trial period because, once this period has expired, only a few causes (such as force majeure, serious misconduct of the employee ....) will allow you to end the employee-employer relationship.
