New employees are scheduled for an orientation session in Human Resource Services.
All employees begin with a six-month probationary period.
During this period, there are several forms which the supervisor completes and reviews with the employee. After the employee has reviewed the forms, they are signed by the supervisor, the employee and, when appropriate, the department head. Employees' signatures on these forms indicate that they have seen the form and verify that they are aware of the content, but do not indicate agreement or disagreement with the content. Employees who disagree with the content of a review have the right to respond in writing. The response should be shared with the supervisor and attached to the evaluation document.
