Small Business Employee Policies Series: Probationary Period
The probationary period, also called an orientation and review period is essentially a trial period for both you and your new employee to determine whether the job match is a good one. It is essential that you have an employee policy in place that will support the need to terminate your employee if job related issues do occur during the early stages of your new staff members’ employment.

3.6 Securing incomes: Working Out of Poverty
Societies at all levels of development face the challenge of organizing systems to provide security against contingencies such as sickness, accident, death of the main breadwinner, disability, old age, maternity and unemployment that make individuals, families and communities vulnerable to poverty. Through solidarity and fair burden sharing, social security systems contribute to human security, dignity, equity and social justice. They are also a foundation for political inclusion, empowerment and the development of democracy. Half of the world’s population is excluded from any type of social security protection, with the rate of coverage varying from almost 100 per cent in some industrialized countries to less than 10 per cent in the poorest developing countries.

1.15 Building an employment agenda: Working Out of Poverty
Employment, and the promotion of enterprise that creates it, remains the most effective route to poverty eradication. The objective of full employment is essential – an issue on which the European Union has given political leadership. Most policy prescriptions, however, do not view job creation as an explicit objective of economic and social policies, but rather as a hopedfor result of sound macroeconomic policies. At the ILO, we believe that sound macroeconomic policies are essential for desired growth, but such growth must be employment-intensive to effectively reduce poverty. While the main challenge remains at the national level, development cooperation has a role to play. Donor countries and institutions, especially international financial institutions, should build this in as an integral part of their vision.
3.2 Investing in jobs and the community: Working Out of Poverty
Spending on infrastructure represents about 20 per cent of total investment in developing countries, and from 40 to 60 per cent of public investment, according to the World Bank. A reorientation of policies on infrastructure investment to ensure that technically viable and cost-effective employment-intensive options are used speeds the reduction of poverty by generating productive and decent employment. The challenge is to develop the appropriate mix of capital- and employment-intensive investment techniques according to each country’s needs and resources.
5.1 Employment, productivity and social dialogue: Working Out of Poverty
The ILO is mandated both by its Constitution and by the United Nations to examine the functioning of economic, social and financial policies from the perspective of employment creation as a central goal. Full, productive and freely chosen employment is the primary means of reducing and eventually eliminating extreme poverty. Moving toward this objective requires a steady and brisk pace of growth that is sustainable in environmental, social and economic terms.
