The probationary period shall be for the duration of 90 days
after appointment and shall apply to all temporary employees or full-time
employees who are transferred or promoted, but shall not apply to
part-time employees. The purpose of the probationary period is to
determine the employee's fitness for the position and his ability
to satisfactorily perform the work required in that position.
If, during the probationary period, the temporary employee is
found not to be fit for the position or his performance does not meet
the required standards, he may be dismissed or assigned to a new position,
only if one exists.
If, during the probationary period, the full-time employee is
found not to be fit for the position or his performance does not meet
the required standards, he shall be reassigned to another job only
if one exists at a comparable rate of pay, or terminated.
Accumulated vacation and sick leave shall not be lost by the
full-time employee who is transferred or promoted and may be used
by the full-time employee during the probationary period. The full-time
employee shall earn vacation and sick leave during the probationary
period, and accumulated vacation and sick leave shall not be lost
by that employee should he not successfully complete the probationary
period.
At the end of 90 days, the temporary employee shall automatically
receive status as a full-time employee unless notified in writing
that his services are terminated.
