ITEM EXPLANATION
(4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO X )
The a tached rule change was prepared in response to questions which had arisen
regar ing extensions of probationary periods. In the past, extensions had been
grant d when an appointing authority was unable to make an informed decision on
award ng permanent status. The inability generally stemed from a change in employee
behavior shortly before the probationary period was over. Sometimes the employee
was simply exhibiting continued marginal behavior and the appointing authority
wishe to provide a "last chance" for the employee to improve.
Altho gh the extension of probationary periods had been operating for many years
the r les did not provide a procedure for these extensions. The new procedure
will allow. the present practice to continue in an orderly way. It sets perimeters
which efine the conditions under which an extension may be granted, and puts an
upper limit on the length of extensions.
The at ached wording was distributed to all employee groups and department heads
and op ortunity to respond was given. There was no opposition to the proposed
rule a d its adoption should facilitate the administration of the probationary period.
