Is there compensation for damaged products during probation?

    Nam Dương |

    Reader email thainghiaxxx@gmail.com asked: If I damage the product during the probationary period, do I have to pay compensation?

    Lao Dong Newspaper Legal Consulting Office replied:

    Article 27 of the 2019 Labor Code stipulates the end of the probationary period as follows:

    1. At the end of the probationary period, the employer must notify the employee of the probationary results.

    In case the probationary period meets the requirements, the employer shall continue to perform the signed labor contract in the case of a probationary agreement in the labor contract or must sign a labor contract in the case of a probationary contract.

    In case the probationary period does not meet the requirements, the signed labor contract or probationary contract will be terminated.

    2. During the probationary period, each party has the right to cancel the probationary contract or the signed labor contract without prior notice and without compensation.

    Thus, during the probationary period, if the employee damages the product, he/she does not have to pay compensation.
