PROCEDURE: 1) The introductory/probationary period is six (6) months. Supervisors should observe carefully the performance of each employee in a new job position. Where appropriate, weaknesses in performance, behavior, or development should be brought to the employee's attention for correction and additional training provided, if applicable, prior to the end of the introductory/probationary period so the employee has an opportunity to improve. 2) Supervisors should conduct an evaluation of the employee's job performance at the end of the first ten weeks and 20 weeks (same for sworn police officers) on the new job using the performance evaluation form prepared by the city. The evaluation should include a recommendation as to whether the employee should continue in the position. Copies of the evaluation should be forwarded to the department head and the Human Resources Department for inclusion in the employee's personnel file. 3) Employees generally will be allowed to continue in their new positions if they are given both a satisfactory evaluation at the end of their initial ten week and twenty week employment periods and have received their supervisor's endorsement to continue in the job. Employees who do not receive a satisfactory ten week or twenty week evaluation may be terminated or given additional time in 30-day increments to demonstrate their ability to do the job, provided the supervisor feels additional time is warranted in order to achieve Page 1 of 2 Exhibit "A"
