RE: Probationary Period Extension – EMPLOYEE’S NAME

Dear Ms. Vaillancourt:

The above CLASSIFICATION will complete his nine-month probationary period on approximately DATE. NAME has experienced some difficulty in meeting his job expectations but has shown recent improvement. Because he has further room for improvement, however, I have informed him that I am recommending a three-month extension to his probationary period.

I am therefore requesting that his probationary period be extended in order to provide us with the necessary time to work with him and evaluate whether he can meet our expectations.

Sincerely,

MANAGER’S NAME
