They also informed me of the reasonable standards that I must pass before signing the probationary employment contract. I received an information after five ...

Thus, it follows that your supposed failure to pass the reasonable standards for probationary employee will not justify the termination of your employment as a regular employee. Placing you under probationary status after one year of performing activities that are necessary in the usual trade of business which made you already as a regular employee is a circumvention of the law or rules. "The provisions of written agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and regardless of the oral agreement of the parties, an employment shall be deemed to be regular where the employee has been engaged to perform activities which are usually necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of the employer, except where the employment has been fixed for a specific project or undertaking the completion or termination of which has been determined at the time of the engagement of the employee or where the work or services to be performed is seasonal in nature and the employment is for the duration of the season.

They also informed me of the reasonable standards that I must pass before signing the probationary employment contract.

Improving auto sales should prop up Michigan economy, hold ... (MiBiz: West Michigan Business News)

That could provide the state an economic tailwind as the U.S. economy cools and, as some economists predict, moves into a mild recession at some point in the ...

Jobs in Michigan are not expected to return to pre-COVID levels until the second half of 2024, as the state is “climbing out of a very deep hole” with the loss of 1.1 million jobs early in the pandemic, Grimes said. Higher labor force participation will drive a “slight uptick” in the state’s unemployment rate during 2023 to about 4.7 percent by early 2024, and then it will begin to decline again, Grimes said. “We are hoping that continued strength in the automotive sector will shield Michigan from the brunt of the recession.” … We’ll get back to normal by the end of 2024.” Metrics that Anderson Economic Group tracks indicate Michigan’s economy is “a little bit stagnant, but holding” as 2023 approaches, with a solid recovery from the pandemic, Theile said. “By the end of 2024, we believe we will have roughly the same number of wage and salary jobs in the state that we had before COVID. “This is going to kind of hold up the Michigan economy better than the national economy,” Grimes said. auto industry hinges on the continued easing of parts shortages, especially computer chips that remain in short supply and led automakers to curtail production and trimmed sales during the pandemic, said Tyler Theile, chief operating officer and director of public policy and economic analysis at East Lansing-based Anderson Economic Group LLC. The relatively optimistic outlook for the state results from pent-up demand that will drive auto sales upward. auto sales to grow from an estimated 13.9 million units in 2022, a level held down by parts shortages, to 15.1 million units in 2023. Despite higher interest rates that are intended to tame high inflation, the University of Michigan and other economic outlooks predict stronger new vehicle sales next year from pent-up demand. in national recessions may actually aid the state during a national economic downturn that many economists predict for 2023.
