a) Probationary Period:
1) A probationary period
of 6 months (979 hours for intermittent and permanent part-time) shall be
served by:
A) an employee who enters service
or commences a new period of continuous service;
B) an employee who is reinstated as provided
under Section
420.420(b);
C) an employee who is appointed from an open
competitive eligible list, whether or not it is considered an advancement in
rank or grade.
2) A
probationary period of 3 months (489.5 hours for intermittent and permanent
part-time) shall be served by an employee who is promoted. A probationary
employee who is demoted or one who accepts a voluntary reduction shall be
required to serve a 3 month probationary period or the balance of the original
probationary period, whichever is greater. If the employee previously held
certified status in the class to which demoted or voluntarily reduced, no
probationary period will be required. A probationary employee transferred
during the probationary period shall serve that portion of the probationary
period that was not completed at the time of transfer. A probationary period
shall not be deemed to be continued by the payment of any sum for vacation or
other benefits during the probationary period.
3) If an employee is absent from work for
more than 15 working days during the probationary period, the absence shall
serve to extend the probationary period by the length of the absence. Any
suspension shall extend the probationary period by the length of the
suspension, except that, if the suspension is later reduced or rescinded, the
reduced or rescinded time shall not extend the probationary period.
b) Certified Status: A probationary employee shall attain certified status only after successful completion of a probationary period. Notice of certification will be promptly sent to the employee and the employing department by the Director of Personnel.
