Document background
The Probation Evaluation Report is a crucial document in Pakistani employment practice, required under the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968, and subsequent labor legislation. It is typically used at the end of an employee's probationary period, which usually ranges from 3 to 6 months, to formally assess their suitability for permanent employment. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides a structured framework for performance evaluation, ensures compliance with legal requirements, documents the basis for employment decisions, and establishes clear communication between the employer and employee regarding performance expectations and outcomes. The report should be completed by the immediate supervisor or line manager, reviewed by HR, and discussed with the employee before a final decision is made regarding their employment status.
