Minister for Justice and Equality

All employees are assessed under the performance management system and newly appointed employees must complete a one year probationary period.

I can inform the Deputy that five staff have had their employment terminated in my Department in the past four years, one established officer and four officers who were on probation, in relation to attendance and performance issues.
