@nmashton This is usually defined in the bylaws, and can be up to the group.

I'd say the most common approach is the require folks the join the #coop at the end of their trial period, but to empower the board of directors to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. I do also know #coops for whom, at the end of the probationary period the choice is join or leave.

It ties heavily into how ownership fits into the company culture. #workercoop #workerstoowners #coopconversion
