Alternative Employment – Unsuccessful Trial Period Letter

Where the redundancy of an employee is under consideration, an employer should consider whether there is alternative employment available for the employee elsewhere within the organisation.

If an employee accepts an offer of alternative employment on different terms (wholly or partially) to the original contract, he or she is entitled to a statutory trial period of four weeks. If, before or during the trial period, the employer or the employee wish to bring the trial period to an end, the employee will be taken as having been dismissed as from the date his or her original job terminated.

This Alternative Employment – Unsuccessful Trial Period Letter should be used to advise an employee that the trial period has ended unsuccessfully and employment will terminate by reason of redundancy.

This Alternative Employment – Unsuccessful Trial Period Letter is in open format. Either enter the requisite details in the fields provided or adjust the wording to suit your purposes.
