Failed probation due to disability?

They say you "didn't fit". You say you weren't supported. Who wins?

The Trap

Probation periods are dangerous. You have few rights. However, Discrimination law applies from Day 1. They cannot fire you because of your disability.

The Argument

If you failed probation because you were slow, and you were slow because they didn’t provide the software they promised in week 1, that is unfair.

  • Extension: Ask to extend the probation period with the adjustments in place to prove yourself.
