Despite the many years I have worked in this field, it's good to know that people (employees) can still surprise me.
I am currently the HR Manager for a very new, small organisation. There was very little in the way of HR processess and systems when I arrived, and I am generally implementing things on a "priority need" basis. One of these has been a probation assessment process.
The organisation was originally brought together from bits and pieces of other organisations and so most of our employees weren't/aren't subject to probation. A small number are, and as we move forward this will increase.
After rolling out the initial round of probation assessments, I have received one for an employee who is not subject to probation. Apparently this person insisted on having an assessment and their manager gave them one.
My general practice is not to keep irrelevant or unnecessary documentation on file, in case it causes confusion at a later time. On the other hand, I don't want to just dispose of this particular item either. My instinct is to return it to the employee and advise them that they may like to keep it for their own records.
I'm just interested in what others might do.
