Add Comment Question: We've had a contractor working for us full time for 3 years and we would like to hire him as an employee. Would the 3 months probation typically apply in this type of situation, or is it considered waived? Answer: You can certainly have a probationary period. It is very important to have a proper and comprehensive employment agreement drafted. I will be happy to discuss that with you.
