New Job Trial Period. 1. Employees who receive an award of a job under the permanent job transfer provisions of this Agreement shall be required to serve a new job probationary period of sixty (60) working days in the new position to determine if they can perform all the requirements of the position.

An employee will also be returned to his/her former classification during this period upon the employee’s request.
