Add Comment Question: I have a small business and one of the employees is in his probationary period . I am not satisfied with the performance of the employee. How to terminate this employee legally in British columbia? The contract says the following: Probationary Period The first three months of your employment will be probationary. During the probationary period, your employment may be reviewed and the Employer may terminate your employment at any time without any requirement to give you working notice or payment in lieu of notice, in full satisfaction of its notice obligations to you, whether statutory, contractual or otherwise. Answer: Hello, You generally do not need to provide your employee with notice if you terminate them during their probationary period because you have assessed that they are not right for the job. It is better to provide the termination notice in writing.
