(A) Policy statement
Employees of the university of Toledo will serve a probationary period as follows:
(1) Classified
civil service shall serve a probationary period following an original
appointment;
(2) All promotions
shall have a probationary period; or
(3) Transfers laterally from one job to
another or transfer to a voluntary demotion.
(B) Purpose of policy
The purpose is to advise employees of the probationary period process.
(C) Scope
This policy applies to hourly classified, classified salaried, and unclassified hourly employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
(D) Procedure
(1) Each employee in the classified civil
service shall serve a probationary period following an original appointment. If
the employee's services are found unsatisfactory, the employee may be removed
at any time during his/her probationary period after completion of sixty days
or one-half of the probationary period, whichever is greater. Probationary
employees who are absent from work three times or more during the probation, or
who show a pattern of tardiness may be subject to probationary removal at any
time during the probationary period. Whenever an employee is given a
probationary removal, a written statement of the reasons for such removal,
showing the areas in which the employee's service was not satisfactory, shall
be given to the employee and to the human resources department. The human
resource department must approve all probationary removals.
(2) The probationary period for all newly
hired or promoted classified and unclassified employees shall be one hundred
twenty calendar days for all positions unless otherwise indicated. The
probationary period shall be one hundred eighty calendar days for certain
positions. Any positions not assigned to a classification salary base shall use
the starting point for the position for probationary period determination.
Longer probationary periods may be authorized for specific job classifications
if included in the classification specification. Time spent on leaves of
absence shall not be counted as part of the probationary period.
(3) Regular part-time employees who work a
portion of each normal working day shall have their probationary period
determined by the number of calendar days following appointment in the same
manner as full-time employees. Employees who work an irregular schedule or who
work less than the normal number of working days per week shall have their
probationary period determined
based on time actually
worked.
(4) All promotions shall
have a probationary period of one hundred twenty days. If promoted employees
are found to be unsatisfactory in the advanced positions, the employee shall,
upon submission of a probationary evaluation showing the reasons why such
employee's service was found to be unsatisfactory, be demoted to the positions
from which the employee was promoted or to similar positions. Upon such
demotion, the employee's salary shall be the same as the employee was receiving
prior to such promotions, except for changes in pay rate that may have occurred
or any step increase to which the employee would have been entitled in the
lower classifications.
(5) If
employees transfer laterally from one job to another or take a voluntary
demotion, the employee shall have a thirty day trial period during which the
employee may return or be asked to return to the position which the employee
previously held. If the supervisor determines the employee is unable to perform
the job satisfactorily, within the first forty-five calendar days, the employee
returns to the same position the employee previously held.
