Administrative Regulation: Probation Period
Regulation Number: 3.2.4
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Non-faculty employees who are at least half-time (20 hours or more weekly) and are below the level of Executive Administrator and have been newly hired or have changed positions within the college, shall serve a probationary period of one year. The probationary period is part of the selection process. Its purpose is to give the new employee an opportunity to demonstrate his/her willingness, dependability, team working skills, and ability to learn and perform job duties satisfactorily.
Before the end of the probationary period, the supervisor shall submit a written evaluation to their supervisor concerning continued employment of the probationary employee. This recommendation shall be discussed with the employee and a written copy given to him/her.
If it is determined that the employee’s performance indicates a capability to become a satisfactory performer and merits retention in the position, the employee shall be a regular employee with rights of appeal.
The probation period may be extended for an additional 30 days at the discretion of the Human Resources Officer. The College President may extend the probation period an additional 6 months.
The fact that an employee is in the probation period for a specific period of time is no indication of continued employment for the entire period. If an employee’s work is not satisfactory, he or she may be dismissed at any time during the probationary period without cause assigned or right of appeal. After the probationary period dismissals may be for cause.
