# Decide what follows a trial period

> In Weplanify, after the manager’s opinion, confirm the employee, renew their trial or end it; ending a trial then opens their final departure.

In Weplanify, once the manager has sent the evaluation, the end of trial becomes **To decide**. Their recommendation is preselected, but HR takes the decision.

## Steps

1. Open the evaluation from the **End of trial periods** follow-up or from **To do** on the dashboard.
2. Read the ratings, strengths and points to improve, and the **Manager’s recommendation**.
3. Under **Decision**, choose **Confirm**, **Renew the trial** with the **Renewed until** date, or **End the trial** with the **Last day of work**.
4. Click **Confirm the decision**, then confirm.
5. After ending a trial, click **Prepare the departure**: the final departure opens with the reason "End of trial period" and the exit date ([declare a departure](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.depart?lang=en)).

## Good to know

- Under the date, reminders say until when the trial can be renewed, before which date to tell the employee in writing, and when the hire becomes final without a decision, according to your country’s rules.
- A trial is renewed only once. You can decide even if the manager has not answered yet.
- Renewing updates the end of trial on the contract. For a confirmed trial contract, **Create the permanent contract** opens a new contract.
- **Send back to the manager** returns the evaluation to complete; **Cancel the evaluation** removes it from the follow-up.
- The employee is told and reads the decision with their evaluation ([read your evaluation](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.evaluations.mon-evaluation?lang=en)).
