Review Probation Periods

Operational Excellence

Currently, Workday provides the

ability to manage a worker’s

probation period which includes the

ability to add, edit and extend a

probation period.

There is no way to initiate a review

and track the outcome of a

probation period.

There is no way to initiate or

indicate that a worker should be

terminated as a result of their

performance during a probation

Workday 31 will provide greater

flexibility and additional reporting on

business process will also help to

streamline the overall hiring

process.
