Common use of Entry Level Clause in Contracts

Entry Level. The Employer retains the right to establish entry-level rates as may be appropriate at less than the full schedule rate.

The reduced rate will apply until the performance capabilities and competence of the employee have been satisfactorily demonstrated, normally six months.

If satisfactory performance is not achieved during the probationary period, the employee shall be terminated.
