“試用期”怎么說
[ 2007-03-29 17:29 ]
日前，廣州媒體“臥底”曝光麥當勞、肯德基等洋快餐店違規用工，其鐘點工的工資低于非全日制職工最低小時工資標準。此外，洋快餐連鎖店還被指控犯有“不為兼職工繳納工傷保險、故意延長兼職工試用期”等六宗罪。
請看《中國日報》相關報道：A popular local newspaper claimed that the US fast-food giants
are violating China's labor laws by under-paying part-time workers by up to 40
per cent in their local chains.
"The fast-food chains have also asked the part-timers to work longer than the
maximum five hours a day, deliberately refused to sign labor contracts or insure
them against workplace injuries, and prolonged their probationary periods."
報道中的“probationary period”就是求職者必須經歷的"試用期"，也可寫做“probation period”、“probationary
employment period”或“trial period”。
“Probation”在此指“（以觀后效的）查看”，也可和介詞“on”連用，表示“在試用期”，如：We'll have to take you on
one month's probation first（我們得先試用你一個月）；He is a mechanic on probation（他是個見習機械工）。
此外，probation常用來指“緩刑”，如：three years' probation under suspended sentence of one
year's imprisonment（一年有期徒刑緩刑三年）。
