Common use of PROBATION AND EVALUATION Clause in Contracts

PROBATION AND EVALUATION. A. All employees shall serve an initial one hundred and twenty (120) working days probationary period. Working days shall be defined as “the period of time the employee is scheduled and working.” Breaks and recess shall not be counted as working days. On or about the one hundredth (100th) day the employee will meet with the immediate supervisor to assess the employee’s job performance. If the employee’s job performance has been found to be satisfactory, he/she shall be employed and their seniority shall be retroactive to their original date of hire. Probationary employees shall be eligible for any and all benefits contained herein. However, the Board shall have sole discretion to discipline or discharge such initial probationary employees and such action shall not be subject to review through the Grievance Procedure. Probationary employees shall not be discharged or disciplined for Union membership or participation in lawful Union activities. All employees retained beyond their probationary period, shall be subject for dismissal only for just cause. This procedure expressly supersedes Ohio Revised Code Chapter 124 and Section 3319. B. Employees who transfer positions to a job of more responsibility or to a job in a different classification are subject to a 60 working day probation period. The administration may transfer the employee back to their original position if performance is documented to be below expectations and the employee was given instruction, training, and notification of weaknesses by the end of the 40th work day. The employee may also opt back into their original position by written notification to the Superintendent’s designee prior to the end of the probation period. It is expected that the employee work the full 60 work days in the new position unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. C. All employees will be subject to an annual evaluation to be performed by a designated supervisor during the month of March and April. The employee will be provided the opportunity to have a meeting to discuss the evaluation and write comments (if he/she deems this relevant) on the evaluation form prior to signing it. The evaluation form will then be made a part of the employee’s personnel file. D. With two working days’ prior notice employees may view their personnel file with the exception of letters of reference or recommendations which are confidential.
