901. Probationary period for new employees. Original appointments to full-time or
part-time regular municipal service positions that are not designated as "at-will" shall be
tentative and subject to a probationary period of twelve months for management and
confidential employees, and as set forth in Chapters 14-16 (memoranda of agreement for
represented employees) for other employees.
902. Objective of probationary period. The probationary period shall be regarded as a
part of the testing process and shall be utilized for closely observing the employee's work, for
securing the effective adjustment of a new employee to his/her position, and for rejecting any
probationary employee whose performance does not meet the acceptable standards of work:
903. Employee performance reports. A report of performance of each probationary
employee shall be made by a department head and shown to the probationary employee on or
before expiration of the probationary period.
904. Rejection of probationer. During the probationary period a new employee may be
suspended, demoted or terminated at any time by the appointing authority without cause and
without right of appeal or to submit a grievance.
905. Extension of probationary period. If a probationary employee is absent from work
during the probationary period for a total of three work weeks or longer, the probationary
period shall be extended for a period commensurate with the duration of the absence in order
to provide the full amount of time to determine whether the employee has met the objectives
of the probationary period.
