Probationary Period

All non-exempt employees will be placed on a probationary period for the first 90 days of employment. During this time, supervisors will evaluate your performance based on the quality of work performed, quality of service provided to co-workers, students and university constituents. Initiative, self-reliance and dependability will also be evaluated.

While the probationary period is part of the University’s employment selection process, continued employment depends on a sustained level of satisfactory performance.

If an employee’s performance and/or attendance should prove unsatisfactory during the probationary period, supervisors may terminate the employee’s employment. Under special circumstances, an employee’s probationary period may be extended for a specified length of time upon recommendation of the employee’s supervisor and with the approval of the Human Resources department.
