What the 90-Day Trial Period Means For You [news]
In March 2009, an optional 90-day trial period for employers who employ 19 people or less was introduced. This change to the labour law allowed smaller businesses to hire new staff, by agreement, for a trial period of up to 90 calendar days.
This option of employing new staff on a trial period is to be extended to all businesses, irrespective of the number of people they employ once the changes have been approved by Parliament.
