Probation and Contract Milestone Tracker App (UAE)

Probation ends are easy to miss. A new hire joins in March, nobody diarises the review, and the end date passes with no decision. A contract end creeps up and the date by which notice or a renewal decision was due has already gone. This app holds the dates and tells you each week who needs action.

You enter each employee's joining date, probation months and contract dates once, and the rules you follow as settings: default probation length, how the end date is counted, review reminder offsets (for example 30, 14 and 7 days before the end), confirmation decision lead, notice period days, renewal lead. The app then builds every milestone date, handling month ends and leap days correctly (31/08 plus 6 months is 28/02, or 29/02 in a leap year).

What is inside:

• Needs action dashboard: pick any month and see everything overdue or due by the end of it, tick items done, with KPIs for overdue items, probations ending this month and contracts ending within 90 days
• Review reminders list for the next N days you choose
• Milestones per person: mid-point check-in, review reminders, review due, confirmation decision due, probation end, last day to give notice, renewal decision due, contract end, yearly anniversary reviews
• Extensions with a log, outcome tracking (in probation, extended, confirmed, employment ended) and a warning if an extension is longer than the maximum you set
• Optional weekend rule that moves reminder dates to the previous or next working day (probation end and contract end never move)
• Printable A4: actions this month, a blank probation review form per person, and a contract and probation schedule for everyone
• CSV import of employees with line-numbered errors, CSV export of milestones, JSON backup and restore, example data, and an Instructions page inside the app

Who it is for: owners and HR officers of small and mid-size UAE companies who manage a handful to a few hundred staff and want one place for the dates.

What it is NOT: it does not know or state any UAE rule on probation, notice or contracts. A fresh install has no rules filled in on purpose and shows a warning until you enter them from your contracts and MOHRE, your PRO or your lawyer. It sends no reminders or emails, does not connect to MOHRE, WPS or payroll, and the review form is an internal record, not a legal document. Data stays in your browser on this device, so export backups.

Neighbours: Zeyto's wave 2 HR spreadsheets and the Staff Performance Review Pack cover reviews on paper or in cells. This app is the date engine that tells you when each one is due.

Verified by scripted Chromium tests (37 assertions: settings validation, month-end and leap-day dates, weekend variants, extensions, CSV import with bad rows, printing, backup and restore) and an independent Python model that matched 691 milestone dates, action lists and counts across 60 random cases. WebKit passed the same flow except the PDF step, which Playwright supports only in Chromium. Firefox could not be launched in the test environment, so it was not tested. Not tested on a physical phone.
