A new employee may, by written contract, agree with the employer to be employed on probationary terms and if probation is agreed upon it shall not exceed six months.
At the end of the initial probationary period the employer and employee may, by further written contract, extend that period for one additional term not exceeding six months and such further agreement shall be appended to the initial contract of employment.
During the period of probation an employee shall be given reasonable training in the duties of his position and the employer shall in a timely manner inform him of his progress in that regard.
One day's notice per month of employment is required for an employee on probation to terminate his employment with his employer and a like period, subject to section 56, is required for an employer to terminate an employee on probation except that, in the case of termination by an employer, the employer shall, in addition, comply with any request that may be made under section 13 (1).
Upon confirmation of employment after a probationary period, all benefits under this Law shall be deemed to have accrued from the beginning of the probationary period and where the period of probation was extended, the benefits shall be deemed to have accrued from the beginning of the first period of probation.
