37  Parliamentary Service employees to be engaged on probation
 (1) Subject to subsection (2), a Secretary engaging a Parliamentary Service employee (other than an employee engaged for duties that are irregular or intermittent) must ensure that the employee is engaged on probation.
Note: Subsection 22(6) of the Act allows the engagement of a Parliamentary Service employee to be made subject to conditions dealing with probation.
 (2) The Secretary may waive the requirement under subsection (1) if the Secretary is satisfied that there are reasonable circumstances justifying the waiver.
 (3) If a Parliamentary Service employee is engaged on a period of probation by a Secretary to perform specified duties, the Secretary must ensure that, during that period, processes are in place to assess the suitability of the Parliamentary Service employee to perform those duties.
Note: The Parliamentary Service Commissioner may, from time to time, issue guidance on matters relating to probation.
