Document background
The Probation Release Letter is a crucial document in Pakistani employment practice, used when an employer decides not to confirm an employee's permanent employment following their probationary period. This document is governed by the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance 1968 and must comply with local employment laws regarding probation periods, which typically do not exceed three months. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the decision, provides legal protection for the employer, ensures transparency in the process, and clarifies final settlement terms. This document should be issued before the end of the probation period and must include specific details about the employment period, reasons for non-confirmation, and next steps regarding final settlements and company property return.
