Common use of Unsuccessful Passage of Promotional Probation Clause in Contracts

Unsuccessful Passage of Promotional Probation. An employee who does not successfully complete his/her promotional probationary period shall be reinstated to a position in the class occupied by the employee immediately prior to his/her promotion only if there is a vacancy in that position. If no vacancy exists in that position, they will be reinstated into the next lower ranking position in the Fire Department that they are qualified for. The employee will then have the option to be reinstated to the position that they held prior to their promotion when the next available vacancy exists as long as the employee has maintained their spot on the acting list and any/all required licenses and certificates required of that position. If the cause for not passing the promotional probationary period was grounds for dismissal, the employee shall be subject to dismissal without reinstatement to the lower position.
