From 6 April 2026, Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) becomes a Day 1 right. Review your new-starter records as the Fair Work Agency begins work on 7 April 2026.

Probation review reminders

Stop relying on someone’s calendar memory.

ProbationWatch turns each start date into visible review milestones and sends deadline alerts as the decision window approaches.

Two employees free. No card required. Pro trial is £0 today, then £19/month unless cancelled.

A reminder is useful only while there is still time to act.

An end-date reminder on the final day is too late to gather feedback, offer support or arrange a meaningful review. Earlier milestones keep the process visible.

  • Milestones calculated from the chosen probation length
  • Email alerts as key review dates approach
  • Dashboard prioritisation across active new starters
  • One click from the alert to the employee record

Questions employers ask

When are reminders sent?

The current six-month workflow highlights milestone windows around days 150, 165, 175 and 182.

Are those dates required by law?

No. They are workflow prompts, not statutory review dates. Your contract and circumstances determine the relevant process.

What happens after an alert?

Open the employee record, review the existing notes and record the next action or outcome.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The Free workspace tracks two active probation employees without a card.

ProbationWatch is a record-keeping and reminder tool, not legal advice. Seek qualified advice for dismissals, disputes and case-specific decisions.
