probationers
Workers under observation
Probationers are people serving a period of probation—a trial period during which their conduct or performance is monitored.
The term most often applies to criminal offenders released under supervision instead of imprisonment: Probationers must report regularly to their officers.
It also describes new employees, students, or members of organizations undergoing evaluation before full acceptance.
