Probation Period for Initial Regular Appointment Clause Samples
The Probation Period for Initial Regular Appointment clause establishes a defined trial period at the start of a new employee's regular employment. During this probationary timeframe, the employer evaluates the employee’s performance, conduct, and overall suitability for the role, often with the option to terminate employment with shorter notice or fewer formalities than after the probation ends. This clause allows both parties to assess fit and expectations, ultimately reducing the risk of long-term employment issues by providing a structured opportunity for early review and adjustment.
Probation Period for Initial Regular Appointment. (a) The successful applicant shall be placed on a probation period. The length of the period will be stated to the employee in the appointment letter from the Employer, and such probation period will be nine hundred and ten (910) hours worked. Conditional on satisfactory service, the employee shall be declared permanent after the probation period.
(b) In the event that an auxiliary employee filling a position on a continuous full‐time basis successfully posts into the same position when it is made regular, the length of the probation period shall be reduced or fully satisfied by a period equivalent to the length of time spent in the same position. Continuous part‐time service will, on a cumulative basis, be recognized to reduce the probation period to a maximum of four hundred and fifty‐five (455) hours worked.
(c) During the probationary period, the Employer may dismiss the employee for just cause. The test of just cause shall be a test of suitability of the probationary employee for continued employment in the position to which they were appointed.
(d) Notwithstanding articles in the Collective Agreement pertaining to probation period, regular employees shall not be eligible to apply for another regular posted position within their initial probation period, except by mutual agreement of the Employer and the Union.
