Is it mandatory to sign a labor contract after the probation period ends?

Article 29 of the 2012 Labor Code stipulates as follows:

- When the probationary work meets the requirements, the employer must enter into a labor contract with the employee.

- During the probation period, each party has the right to cancel the probation agreement without prior notice and without compensation if the probationary work does not meet the agreed requirements.

In addition, Article 7 of Decree 05/2015/ND-CP stipulates the notification of probation results as follows:

- Within 03 days before the end of the probation period for an employee performing a job with a probation period specified in Clauses 1 and 2, Article 27 of the Labor Code, the employer must notify the employee of the results of the probationary work; if the probationary work meets the requirements, the employer must immediately enter into a labor contract with the employee at the end of the probation period.

- At the end of the probation period for an employee performing a job with a probation period specified in Clause 3, Article 27 of the Labor Code, the employer must notify the employee of the results of the probationary work; if the probationary work meets the requirements, the employer must immediately enter into a labor contract with the employee.

=> According to the above regulations, in case the probationary work meets the requirements, upon the conclusion of the probation period, the employer must immediately enter into a labor contract with the employee.

Therefore, if your probationary work meets the requirements, the company must sign a labor contract with you at the end of the probation period.

The above is our complete response to your question.
