Hi How long can a flexible working trial period last for before giving an outcome? Thank you
In reply to Mandy:
Hi Mandy thank you for getting back but I have been advised by a lot of people and HRinform that 6 months is excessive especially now that we have to give the outcome in 2 months. Confused. Also, does it mean that there isn't a limit on the length of the trial period and can ot be extended too? Doesn't seem to be fair especially if we are required to give an outcome in 2months. thank youIn reply to Meena:
You have been badly advisedIn reply to Peter Stanway:
Hi Peter, Thank you for getting back. Is there a reason why 6 months is the maximum limit, and not 9 months or a year? I didn't find anything on ACAS.In reply to Meena:
You're required to give an outcome within two months, unless this is extended by mutual agreement. It would be reasonable to suggest an extension to allow a trial period.In reply to Sophie:
