All employees are formally evaluated at the end of this period to determine their proficiency in their position and acceptability as a University employee. After satisfactory completion of the probationary period, they will automatically become a regular employee of the University of Nebraska. Should employees fail to successfully complete the probationary period, they may be terminated or the probationary period may be extended for up to an additional six months. No more than one extension may be granted. The evaluation will cover the employee's performance, professional development, and job-related knowledge.
Emphasis is given to satisfactory performance of assigned duties.
All employees have the opportunity to see all written material submitted in support of their evaluation and have an opportunity to respond in writing. Evaluations are kept in the employee's personnel file. Return to the Employee Policies .
