A new hire, Imani, starts a position with a 90-day probation period. During this time, she meets with her supervisor to discuss her performance, the position's expectations, and her professional growth. At the end of the 90 days, her employer determines she has met all expectations, allowing her to pass the probationary period and secure a permanent job.

A probationary period is a specific timeframe, often applied when an employee is newly hired (e.g., a 90-day period) or used as a consequence of poor performance. During this period, the employee's progress, growth, and adherence to expectations are closely evaluated through meetings with a supervisor. Successfully meeting the employer's expectations by the end of the period typically results in permanent employment or the lifting of performance-related sanctions.
