Wondered if anyone has any advice for the below? Person started working for a company in January 2024. 6 Months probation period passes with no update or meeting. In October 2024, 10 months after starting, employer calls employee into a meeting (due to 3 days off very unwell) and tells them they won't be working there anymore, and failed probation. They tell him, they can't let him leave site, until he signs the probation report. This doesn't sound right at all to me. Anyone have any ideas?

If his contract provided a probation period of 6 months and that passed without him being informed that it had been extended, then he stopped being in his probationary period at the 6 month period. Employers can however dismiss without much come back in the first 2 years (as long as reason isn't discriminatory). However they do need to give him the appropriate notice (1/2)

Employee should ask for an independent 3rd party to join the meeting to witness the discussion or record it on their phone, refuse to sign report as it is beyond the probation period and therefore irrelevant. If company refuses to let them leave the premises - call the police on grounds of unlawful detainment. Once out of the office - file an unfair dismissal claim.
