Probationary period means a working test period that every person appointed to a new classification level shall satisfactorily complete as a condition of continued employment. Group 1 means classifications which typically do not require a bachelor's degree to enter, and which normally do not supervise other employees. Group 2 means classifications which typically require a bachelor's degree or post-bachelor's degree or the equivalent to enter, and which normally do not supervise other employees. Group 3 means managerial and supervisory classifications that are responsible for the supervision of subordinate staff.
Day means calendar day.
There is a rating form for employees in each group of the equitable classification plan and a separate form for Information Technology Pilot Program employees. An appointing authority may use alternative rating forms instead of the Department of Civil Service forms as specified in their performance management plan approved by the Department of Civil Service. A probationary period is not required, but may be established for reinstatement, recall, reassignment, or transfer in the same classification or demotion. Full-time probationary employees shall be reviewed upon completion of 6 months and 12 months of service. Less than full-time probationary employees shall be reviewed after completion of 9 months and again after completion of 18 months.
