In Hungary, probation periods are a common practice included in employment contracts to allow both employers and employees to evaluate their suitability for the role. Hungarian labor law regulates these periods to ensure fairness and consistency.
The maximum duration of a probation period in Hungary is 3 months, including any extensions. At Horizons Technológia Kft, the standard probation period is set at 3 months and is included directly in the employment contract at the time of signing. This provides clarity and aligns with local legal practices.
While it is possible to extend a probation period, it can only be done once. Importantly, the total duration—combining the initial period and the extension—cannot exceed the 3-month maximum limit specified by Hungarian labor regulations.
