kokeiluaikaväli

Kokeiluaikaväli, sometimes translated as trial period or probationary period, refers to a designated length of time at the beginning of an employment contract. During this period, both the employer and the employee have an opportunity to assess the suitability of the working relationship. It allows the employer to evaluate the employee's performance, skills, and fit within the company culture. For the employee, it provides a chance to understand the job responsibilities, working environment, and to determine if the role meets their expectations.

The terms of the kokeiluaikaväli, including its duration, are typically stipulated in the employment contract and are often subject to legal regulations which may vary by jurisdiction. In many countries, employment laws define maximum lengths for trial periods. During this time, employment can often be terminated with a shorter notice period than for permanent employees, or sometimes without notice, depending on the specific agreement and local laws. This shorter notice period is intended to facilitate a smoother transition if the fit is not appropriate for either party.

Upon successful completion of the kokeiluaikaväli, the employment relationship typically continues under the standard terms and conditions of the permanent employment contract, and the employee gains the same rights and protections as other permanent staff members. The purpose is to provide a structured and low-risk way to establish a long-term working relationship.
