TRIAL PERIOD

Citizens Advice Bureau from Citizens Advice Bureau Upper Hutt

* What is a trial period?

* If I'm employed under a 90 day trial period, can my employer fire me within 90 days even if I haven’t done anything wrong?

* How much notice must I give before dismissing someone I have employed under a trial period?

* I have worked casually for my employer in the past, now they want to employ me fulltime on a trial period. Is this allowed?

* How much notice must I give if I want to leave my job (I’m part way through a trial period)?

* What’s the difference between a trial period and a probation period?

* I have been on a two-week probation period and I didn’t get paid. Can they do that?

* When I applied for a job at a café I was asked to work unpaid for an hour as part of the interview process. Is this legal?

Desperately seeking bottle fed calf as friend for ours.

Linda from Moonshine Valley

Hi, we have 1 very lonely calf which was abandoned by its mum. We are looking for a companion calf, still being bottle fed so our wee one isn't alone. This is urgent. Thank you.
