The Probation Review document is a crucial tool in Swiss employment relationships, used to formally assess new employees during their probationary period, which is governed by Article 335b of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This document is typically prepared towards the end of the probation period (maximum three months under Swiss law) and serves multiple purposes: it evaluates the employee's performance against predetermined criteria, documents their integration into the organization, and formally records the decision regarding permanent employment. The Probation Review should be used for all new employees subject to a probationary period, regardless of their position or industry sector. It should contain detailed assessments of performance, behavior, and competencies, while ensuring compliance with Swiss data protection and employment laws. The document forms part of the employee's personnel file and can be crucial in supporting employment decisions.
