Common use of Extension of Police Officer Probationary Period Clause in Contracts

Extension of Police Officer Probationary Period. The Township may, from time to time and in its sole and absolute discretion, extend a member's probationary period beyond the term set forth in Section 9.1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that all extensions shall only be done upon the written approval of the Lodge and the member. In the event of such extension, the member shall continue as a probationary member for such time or times as agreed to by the parties, without interruption of Step progression. During an extended probationary period, the member may be terminated at any time, and the member shall have no recourse to the arbitration procedure concerning probationary termination, nor may the member appeal such termination in the Court of Common Pleas pursuant to Section 505.491 et seq. of the Ohio Revised Code.
