Employee Probationary Status

All full-time, regular employees excluding faculty members serve as probationary employees for the first six months or one year depending on the collective bargaining unit language. Employees promoted also serve a probationary period. The purpose of the period is to assess the employees fitness for continuation in the current position. Performance will be evaluated prior to the completion of the probationary period. Successful completion will result in the granting of regular or permanent status. Unsuccessful performance during this probationary period will result in extension of the period, demotion or dismissal.
