Absolutely. During the guarantee period, we will follow-up with you and the candidate to ensure a smooth transition and pre-empt any problems.  We encourage you to discuss any issues you might have and will try and assist in whatever way possible to resolve the situation. This may involve discussing the matter with the employee or giving you advice as to how best to deal with the matter. Any decision or action to be taken regarding an employee is obviously the employer’s duty in terms of legislation.

There are a number of reasons why it is not ideal to do this:

  • Many of the best candidates are already employed on a permanent basis and would not move from a permanent to a temporary position or even apply for such a position.
  • If you employ someone on a temporary basis when they are looking for a permanent job they most likely will continue looking for a permanent job as you are not offering them the job security they seek. 
  • The employee may view this as you not having confidence in them and as a result may feel insecure from the start.
  • Legally, an employer cannot use a temporary contract to avoid the requirements attached to a probationary period in terms of legislation.

Recommendation

Rather than employ someone on a temporary basis to try them out, we recommend that you appoint them on a permanent contract with a probationary period of 3 months.
