Being well read you will have absorbed the appropriate FWA information regarding Probationary Employment. To summarise though, Probation is something you pass or otherwise. It is not relevant to the redundancy provisions in the way you’re suggesting where a downturn would allow the company to effectively dismiss such employees with less entitlements than prescribed in an agreement. More uninformed crap.
If you have been in the company less than 12 months there are different rules though which those people would be advised to research. For clarity, I do not know whether the EBA provisions would apply in lieu of other FWA legislation in this instance. Stand down provisions did....so....I’m sure the answer is out there.
