PROBATION
Section:
4.18.010 Probation.
4.18.010 Probation.
Every employee who is appointed into a regular full-time or regular part-time position must serve a probationary period of at least six months. When the Department of Employee Relations and the department director find that special circumstances exist an employee may have the probationary period modified or waived. However, employees cannot be taken off an established probation early. During the probationary period, the supervisor shall develop goals for the employee’s performance and shall periodically review them with the employee. Employees not meeting the standards or goals may be given an extended probationary period, transferred, demoted, or terminated.
During the initial probationary period, a newly hired employee is employed at the will of the City and may be terminated or demoted for any reason or no reason, without notice, and without application of Chapter 4.20.
A post-probationary employee who is promoted, transferred, or demoted may be removed from the new position and placed in a different position for any or no reason, without notice. During the subsequent probationary period, the only provisions of Chapter 4.20 that apply will be those related to termination for cause.
During any probationary period, an employee may not apply for a transfer, promotion, or demotion. The Department of Employee Relations and the employee’s department director may jointly make exceptions to this provision if they find that the circumstances warrant an exception. (Ord. O-2009-43 § 1, 2009; Ord. O-2007-7 § 1, 2007; Ord. O-2004-39 § 1, 2004; Ord. O-2001-49 § 1, 2001; Ord. O-99-34 § 1, 1999; Ord. O-99-18 § 1, (part), 1999).
