POLICY:
A non-exempt, hourly employee is a probationary employee for the first ninety
(90) calendar days of employment. After completion of the first ninety (90)
calendar days, the University may extend the probationary status for an additional
ninety (90) calendar days. Any extension of the probationary period beyond
the initial ninety (90) days must be communicated to the employee in writing
and include reasons for such extension so that the employee might be able to
correct any deficiencies. Upon completion of the probationary period, the employee
shall be credited with that corresponding length of service (90 or 180 days).
For bargaining unit members, the Union will be notified of any extension of
the probationary period.
Before the end of the probationary period (or extension thereof) the probationary
employee's work performance will be reviewed by the immediate supervisor and
a change of status recommended.
