40 POLICY: PROBATIONARY PERIOD <br /> Approved By: City Council Section: 1.25 <br /> Revision History: 1988, 1997 Page: 1 of 1 <br /> New, promoted and otherwise transferred employees are required to successfully complete a <br /> probationary period of not less than six(6) months or(1) year for Public Works Maintenance <br /> employees. During this time, new and transferred probationary employees become acquainted <br /> with the work assigned to them and can deceive whether they wish to continue their employment <br /> in that position. At the same time, the City can decide whether it wishes to continue to retain the <br /> employee in that position. New,probationary employees are employees at will and may be <br /> terminated by the City with or without cause at any time, subject to the rights of veterans. If <br /> during the probationary period the City determines that a transferred probationary employee is <br /> not able to adequately perform the duties of the new position, the City may, as its discretion, <br /> reinstate the transferred probationary employee to the position and rate of pay previously held, <br /> with no loss of seniority, subject to the rights of veterans. Probationary employees do not have <br /> the rights to grieve employment decisions made concerning them including termination, subject <br /> to the rights of veterans. <br /> During the initial probationary period, but not during a promoted and otherwise transferred <br /> probationary period, an employee will not be paid for any absence from work with the exception <br /> 0 of legal paid holidays. After six months of service, an employee will be entitled to sick leave and <br /> vacation leave to be accrued from the start of probationary employment. Health care and other <br /> benefits shall be according to the terms of the group health policy. <br /> During any time during the probationary period,the employee's supervisor, if deemed necessary, <br /> should submit a written report to the Clerk-Administrator on observation of the employees work <br /> and judgement as to the employee's willingness and ability to perform duties satisfactorily. <br /> Copies of the written reports will be maintained in the employee's personnel file. <br /> The duration of the probational period may be extended in excess of the initial period. <br /> Successful completion of the probationary period does not reflect any right of continued <br /> employment. <br />• <br />
