Promptness is important and devoting the full amount of time to the job is expected of all employees.
Personal business is to be taken care of only on the employee's own time.
Shortly after being hired, most new employees participate in a training session called Orientation to State Employment . This session outlines in detail the rules, regulations, policies and benefits of State employees. New employees will serve a probationary period of either six months or one year before achieving permanent status. This probationary period is used to allow new employees to become familiar with the responsibilities and procedures of the position as well as prove their competence and reliability. State employees are eligible to compete in recruitment for promotional openings after six months of continuous service.
