Odoo HR gives you a date of joining and a job position — but nothing that actually manages the probation window that follows. New hires quietly pass their probation-end date, managers forget to evaluate, and HR has no system record of who is confirmed and who is still on trial. Employee Probation Management is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and supports specifically for your organisation's probation policy.
Adds probation start, probation duration (months) and computed probation-end date to hr.employee, defaulting the start from the contract or date of joining
@api.depends compute method recalculates the probation-end date automatically whenever the start date or duration changes — no manual math
Daily scheduled action (ir.cron) scans for employees whose probation window is completing or overdue and raises the right alerts
Automatic notifications on probation completion to the assigned manager and HR via Odoo's mail.thread/messaging layer, with configurable lead-time reminders
Structured probation evaluation checklist (competencies, attendance, attitude, targets) captured on the employee record for a documented decision trail
Manager sign-off workflow on a statusbar (Probation → Under Review → Confirmed / Extended) so every decision has an owner and a timestamp
This is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download. After purchase, our Odoo engineers scope your requirements, build the module against your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 database (Community or Enterprise), install it on your instance, and hand over documentation and training. Typical delivery is 2 to 4 weeks.
At its core the module extends the standard hr.employee model with probation fields — probation start (defaulting from the contract or date of joining), a configurable probation duration in months, and a computed probation-end date that recalculates automatically via an @api.depends compute method whenever the start date or duration changes. A scheduled action (ir.cron) runs daily to detect employees whose probation window is closing and fires notifications to the assigned manager and HR through Odoo's messaging (mail.thread) layer, so nobody relies on memory or a spreadsheet reminder.
Evaluation is structured, not ad hoc. Each probationer gets an evaluation checklist and a manager sign-off workflow driven by an Odoo statusbar (probation to under-review to confirmed or extended). When the manager confirms, an automated action flips the employee's status to permanent and stamps the confirmation date; when they request an extension, the probation-end date rolls forward by the extension you define. Access is locked down with ir.model.access.csv rules plus record rules so managers see only their own team's probation records while HR sees the whole organisation.
Everything is delivered with clean, standards-compliant code: a proper __manifest__.py declaring dependencies (hr, mail), models with typed fields and compute methods, XML/OWL views, a QWeb probation-confirmation report you can print or email, security CSV and record rules, and a demo-data set. Because it is built as a real Odoo module — not a database hack — it upgrades cleanly, integrates with your existing HR flows, and is reachable over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API for any downstream system.
Owns the new-hire lifecycle and needs a reliable system record of who is on probation, who is due for review and who has been confirmed — without chasing managers over email or maintaining a fragile spreadsheet.
Responsible for evaluating and signing off their own new hires. Wants a timely nudge before the probation date passes and a simple checklist and confirm button, not a 12-field HR form.
Maintains the Odoo HR configuration and wants probation handled as a proper module with clean access rules and API reachability — something that survives version upgrades rather than a one-off customisation nobody can support.
At companies without a dedicated HRIS, wants probation confirmations to happen on time so employment terms are correct, with an auditable trail for compliance, all inside the Odoo they already run the business on.

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. After purchase, an ECOSIRE Odoo engineer contacts you to confirm your probation policy, Odoo version (17, 18 or 19) and edition (Community or Enterprise). We then build, install and test the module on your instance and hand over docs and training. Typical delivery is 2 to 4 weeks depending on how customised your evaluation checklist and workflow need to be.
Every build ships with a post-delivery support and bug-fix window covering the deployed module — if something breaks or behaves incorrectly, we fix it. We also provide guidance on configuration changes during that window. Because you receive the full source code, you can maintain it yourself afterward, or engage ECOSIRE for ongoing support, feature additions, or a paid upgrade when you move to a newer Odoo major version.
Yes. The module is built on standard Odoo framework primitives — hr.employee, mail messaging, ir.cron scheduled actions, QWeb reports and security CSV/record rules — so it runs on both Community and Enterprise across Odoo 17, 18 and 19. We build against your exact version so nothing is left to a compatibility guess.
Yes. Default probation durations are set in Odoo Settings (and can differ per company or department), and the evaluation checklist items are configured to your policy during setup, so changing them later doesn't require touching code. Anything structural — like an extra approval stage in the sign-off workflow — we scope and build in during the engagement.
A daily scheduled action (ir.cron) checks each active probationer's computed probation-end date. As completion approaches, it notifies the assigned manager and HR through Odoo's messaging layer. When the manager confirms sign-off, an automated action changes the employee's status to permanent and records the confirmation date; if they extend, the end date rolls forward and stakeholders are re-notified. No manual date-watching required.
It is delivered as a proper Odoo addon — clean models, manifest and views rather than direct database edits — which upgrades far more cleanly than ad-hoc customisation. Moving between major versions (for example 18 to 19) can still require a migration pass, which ECOSIRE can handle as a scoped update so the module keeps working on your new version.
