Probationary Period
New and promoted employees have a probationary period as part of their evaluation process in the new job. A probationary period is a working test period which allows your supervisor time to consider your suitability for the job and gives you an opportunity to decide if you are satisfied with the job. New employees serve a twelve (12) month probationary period. Promoted employees who previously had attained regular status with the County serve a six (6) month probationary period. If you are on a leave of absence (paid or unpaid) for more than thirty (30) days during the probationary period, your probationary period will be extended by the amount of the leave.
