Common use of Newly Hired Employees Clause in Contracts

Newly Hired Employees. A newly hired employee shall be considered probationary for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, unless mutually extended by the University and the Union for an additional thirty (30) calendar days, from the date of employment in a bargaining unit position. Probationary employees are covered by this Agreement in accordance with its terms except that the final step of the grievance procedure, arbitration, is not available to a probationary employee. During the probationary period, employees can be terminated at the University’s discretion. a. At or near the midpoint of the new-hire probationary period (e.g. 90 days), a mid-term probationary performance evaluation is required. A meeting with the employee and the supervisor shall be scheduled to conduct this evaluation. Performance progress including any deficiencies, training needs and other workplace issues will be discussed at this meeting. If necessary, an action plan and date for a follow-up meeting will be scheduled. b. Time spent as a temporary employee will be applied toward this probationary period if such employee is hired without a break in service into the regular position which was held in temporary service. If a temporary employee is hired without a break in service to a similarly classified position, the employee will serve at least thirty (30) days of the probationary period in regular service. In either case, terms of this Agreement are not applicable to employees serving in a temporary position. c. An employee with less than 180 days in his/her current position may be granted bidding privileges for a specific position by mutual agreement of the University and the Union.
