Employment consultations in Germany: probation period guidance
Probezeit is short, emotional, and full of informal signals. This page explains how Pro Automation structures guidance so you leave with dates and language — not only reassurance.
What we cover in a typical consultation
- Contract landmarks: length of probation, notice mechanics, and what your letter actually says.
- Conversation design: how to request criteria without sounding combative.
- Documentation: light evidence logs that stay factual.
- Role split: employee scripts versus manager scripts using the same facts.
A simple three-window map
Weeks 1–4: Confirm expectations in writing where possible. Capture tools, access, and training you still need.
Weeks 5–8: Hold a structured mid-point conversation. Align on observable criteria for the remaining period.
Weeks 9–end: Decide what to escalate, what to document, and what to stop guessing about. If conversion looks unlikely, prepare a dignified close-out plan.
Limits we state clearly
We do not represent you in court, draft termination letters as counsel, or negotiate severance. Educational guidance and courses can prepare you for those paths with better materials.
