Common use of Trainee Appointments Clause in Contracts

Appointments to the higher classification are subject to a probationary period. PROMOTIONS‌ A promotion is the appointment of an employee from one classification to a classification having a higher base salary range.

At the discretion of the Appointing Authority and with the approval of the County’s Human Resources Director, an employee may be placed at any step within the higher base salary range. Promotions shall be effective only at the beginning of a pay period unless an exception is approved by the County’s Human Resources Director.
