Introductory (Probation) Period

Each new hired full-time staff employee and current full-time staff employees who move into a new position, is appointed in an introductory status for the first ninety (90) days of his/her employment. A period in which managers monitor and evaluate the new employee’s performance.

Sixty (60) days after the employee’s start date a Task will be sent in Workday to the Manager to complete the review.  The Manager has 30 days to complete it.  If the final score is Needs Improvement (extend probation period), or Does Not Meet (end employment), the Manager must contact Human Resources before moving forward.
