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.

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.
