# EXAMPLE: PROBATION EXTENSION LETTER

Date: 20 February 2028

From: Cedar North Ventures Limited

To: Emily Jones

## 1. Facts

From Cedar North Ventures Limited, 8 Station Yard, Leeds LS10 2AB, to Emily Jones, Customer Success Executive, dated 20 February 2028.

## 2. Decision

Your six-month probation would have ended on 29 February 2028. Following reviews on 30 January and 16 February, the company will extend it by three months to 31 May 2028.

## 3. Reasons

The decision reflects two missed renewal forecasts and a customer escalation not logged within the required 24 hours. Your product knowledge and client empathy are strong, so the extension is intended to provide a fair opportunity to meet the role standard.

## 4. Process and rights

During the extension, Marcus Bell will hold weekly coaching, you will complete the renewal-system module by 1 March and maintain 95% on-time case logging. A midpoint review will take place on 28 March, with reasonable adjustments considered.

## 5. Records and continuing matters

Your salary, benefits, continuous employment and contractual notice remain unchanged. The extension does not remove statutory rights or predetermine dismissal; failure to reach the standard may lead to a further capability decision with notice.

## 6. Closing

You may comment in writing by 27 February, request a companion at a formal meeting where permitted and appeal to People Director Harriet Cole within five working days of this letter if the process or evidence is inaccurate.

## 7. Acknowledgement

Please sign to acknowledge receipt, not agreement. Yours sincerely, Priya Nair, People Director; employee acknowledgement: ____________________.
