The Labour Relations Amendment Bill of 2025 proposes that all employees in their first three months of employment or during a longer period of probation will not be entitled to institute any claim on the basis of an unfair dismissal.
Should the bill become law in its current form it will mean that new employees will have less protection than employees with longer service. It will also enable unscrupulous employers to include excessively long probation periods in employment contracts as a ploy to enable them to fire employees at will.
While the laudable aim of this amendment is to encourage employers to employ more employees does it make the sacrifice of new employees worthwhile?
