Probation of New Employees. Every new employee shall be subject to a 90-day probationary period during which time the employee shall be subject to evaluation by management to determine his or her suitability for continued employment. During or at the end of this period, management shall have the sole and exclusive right to determine whether the employee shall be granted permanent status. Dismissal during or at the end of the probationary period shall not be subject to arbitration nor subject to the discipline and discharge provisions of this Agreement. Vacation, sick, and administrative days will be earned, but cannot be used during the probationary period.
Probation of New Employees. The probationary period for new employees shall be a period of twenty-six (26) weeks from the date of employment. It is understood that the District has the option of extending the probationary period of the new employee. During the probationary period, employees shall be paid by the hour for hours actually worked. Advancement from probationary status will be upon recommendation of the immediate supervisor and approval of the appointing officer. Probationary employees will be notified of pending action prior to the end of their probationary period. An employee who has been continuously employed by the District for six (6) months or more as a substitute in the position to which he subsequently receives a probationary appointment shall have three (3) months of such substitute service credited toward his probationary period, provided that the substitute service occurred immediately prior to the probationary appointment.
