What’s inside
How to use this template
01
Schedule the Check-Ins.
Book all three reviews at the start of the probationary period so they’re on both calendars from day one.
02
Structure Each Conversation.
Use the prompts for each stage to cover integration, progress, and the probation decision without leaving gaps.
03
Document Outcomes.
Capture manager notes, employee input, and next steps in the same file for a complete probation record.
This template is for you if…
- You’ve hired someone in the last three months and haven’t scheduled a proper check-in
- Your team’s probationary conversations happen ad hoc, or not at all
- You’ve had a probationary period end in “we should have said something sooner”
Key Benefits
After using this template, you’ll be able to…
Know where every new hire stands.
Three defined check-in moments mean no probation ends in a surprise for either side.
Run consistent probationary reviews.
Every manager on your team uses the same structure, so evaluations are comparable across hires.
Have a defensible probation record.
Documented conversations give HR a paper trail if a probation decision needs to hold up later.
