Common use of Probationary and Trial Period Clause in Contracts

Probationary and Trial Period. (a) All newly-hired employees shall be considered probationary for 90 calendar days with the exception of FSR 2, Account Manager 1, Account Manager 2 and Account Manager 3, who shall be considered probationary for a period of 180 calendar days. The Employer, with the agreement of the Union, may extend the probationary period by 30 days, provided written reasons are given for requesting such extension. (b) All non-probationary employees who secure a position through the operation of this article shall have a trial period of 60 days actually worked with the exception of FSR 2, Account Manager 1, Account Manager 2, and Account Manager 3, who shall have a trial period of 122 days actually worked. This trial period will be waived if the employee has successfully completed the trial period for the same classification in the previous six months. In the event the employee proves unsatisfactory in the position during the trial period, or if the employee is unable to perform the duties of the new job, she shall be returned to her former position and wage or salary rate, without loss of seniority. Any other employee affected by the rearrangement of positions shall be returned to her former position and wage or salary rate, without loss of seniority. If the employee wishes to return to her former position, the employee shall be returned to a lower level position within the bargaining unit when the position becomes available. (c) Notwithstanding (b) above, a non-probationary employee moving from one identical position to another (e.g. Teller to Teller) will have the trial period waived.
