Document background
The Non Confirmation of Probation Letter is a crucial document in U.S. employment practices, used when an employee has not met the required standards or expectations during their probationary period. This document is typically issued following a series of performance reviews or discussions, serving as the final formal communication regarding the employment relationship. It must comply with federal employment laws, including the At-Will Employment Doctrine, while also considering state-specific requirements. The letter should be issued before or at the end of the established probationary period, which typically ranges from 30 days to 6 months, depending on company policy and industry standards. Its primary purpose is to officially document the termination decision, protect the organization legally, and provide clear information to the employee about the end of their employment.
