The Human Resources regulations in the Federal Government of the UAE stipulates that the civil servant shall be subject for a three month probation period to monitor employee efficiency and performance in tandem with the job requirement in issue. We surveyed in this study the following: The probation period and the legal status of the employee during such period. The discretionary powers of the management to terminate employee services under probation or beyond and the supervision of the judicial administration over the justifications upon which the authorized administration rest to terminate employment contract under probation period for reasons of inefficiency of performance.
