A recent case out of Nova Scotia serves as a reminder for employers and HR about employment law considerations when it comes to employees on probation.
Due to a crucial omission in an employment contract, an employer was ordered to pay $10,000 of a remaining signing bonus to an employee terminated for “gross incompetence” during her probationary period.
“He prepared his own employment contract – mistake number one,” says Ronald Pink of Pink Larkin in Halifax.
