RS 33:2495
§2495. Working tests
A. Every person appointed to a position in the classified service following the certification of his name from a promotional or a competitive employment list, except as provided in R.S. 33:2495.1 and except those appointed on a temporary basis, shall be reported to the board as a probational employee within fifteen days of his appointment. The probational employee shall be tested by a working test while occupying the position before he may be confirmed as a regular and permanent employee in the position.
B.(1) Except as provided in R.S. 33:2495.1, the period of the working test shall commence immediately upon appointment and shall continue for a period of not less than six months nor more than one year.
C. Upon any employee completing his working test, the appointing authority shall so advise the board and furnish a signed statement to the respective employee of its confirmation and acceptance of the employee as a regular and permanent employee in the respective position or of its refusal to confirm the employee and the reasons therefor. If, at the expiration of an employee's working test period, the appointing authority fails to confirm or reject the employee, such failure to act shall constitute a confirmation.
D. The appointing authority may remove, and shall remove upon the order of the board, any employee during his working test period who the board finds, after giving him notice and an opportunity to be heard, was appointed as a result of an error, misrepresentation, or fraud.
E. In any event where an employee is permitted under this Section to appeal to the board, the decision of the board shall be subject to the judicial review provided by this Part and the appointing authority and employee shall be governed accordingly.
F. Any employee appointed in accordance with R.S. 33:2494, who has commenced a working test shall have the working test considered interrupted by any absence greater than thirty consecutive days. The working test, even if interrupted, shall not be more than the aggregate period of one year.
