Contracts of probationary hiring in Cameroon is regulated by section 28 of Law no. 92/007 of 14 August 1992 on the Cameroonian labour code and ministerial Order No. 017/MTPS/SG/CJ to sets the terms of probationary period in Cameroon. The formation of contracts of probationary hiring imposes obligations both on the employer and the employee. On the part of the employer, he has rights and obligations such as; the right to manage the worker(s), the right to discipline the employee, regulatory powers of the employer, obligations to respect fundamental rights, duty to pay wages, duty to provide work, duty to respect weekly Rest. On the part of the employee, he has rights and obligations such as, the right to privacy, the right to payment, the joint trade union, and the obligation of obedience, the obligation loyalty, skills, obligation of secrecy and more. It is a duty on both parties to respect their obligations in the contract as establish by the law. However, the weaker party in contracts of the probationary hiring which is the employee continue to see his rights been constantly violated on daily bases by the employer. Most employers violate the right to payment, good working conditions and even weekly rest of employees during period of probationary hiring. This continues to persist because a lot of worker is in vulnerable positions and needs jobs. Some workers are not even aware of the rights available to them in these contracts of employments. This research work has as objective to examine how effective are the rights and obligations of parties respected in contracts of probationary hiring under the Cameroonian labour code. A doctrinal research methodology has been adopted where both primary and secondary sources of information haven been consulted. Our findings reveal that, most employees are the ones whose rights are constantly violated in contracts of probationary hiring on daily basis in Cameroon because of their vulnerability, ignorance and improper implementation of the law regulating contracts of probationary hiring. As a result we recommend that, the state should ensure the effective implementation of the labour legislation in Cameroon, there should be general sensitization of Cameroonians on their rights in contracts of probationary hiring in Cameroon.
