The Probationary Period. The purpose of the probationary period is to give the employee the opportunity to demonstrate improvement in his or her area(s) of deficiency. During the probation, the employee may not be transferred from the supervision of the original evaluator. Improvement of performance must occur and be documented by the original evaluator before any consideration of a request for transfer or reassignment will be considered by either the employee or the district. During the probationary period, evaluator shall observe/evaluate the employee at least twice a month. The evaluator may authorize one additional certificated evaluator to observe the employee and to aid the employee in improving his or her areas of deficiency. The provisions of this Article referring to observation and evaluation procedures will apply, unless specifically identified otherwise, to the documentation of observation and evaluation reports during the probationary period. The employee may be removed from probation if he or she has demonstrated improvement to the satisfaction of the evaluator(s) in the areas specifically detailed in his or her program of improvement.
The Probationary Period for Part-time Employees shall be six (6) months of continuous service or 1040 working hours, whichever is greater.
The Probationary Period. 1. Criteria for Probation: The following SERs based on the evaluation Criteria mean a staff member’s work is not judged satisfactory and is grounds to establish a probationary period:
The Probationary Period. (i) In accordance with the Public Service Commission Regulations 2001, on first appointment as a Teacher in Bermuda, an individual will be required to serve a probation period of one academic year during which time he/she may be dismissed for unsatisfactory service or inefficiency by the Permanent Secretary.
The Probationary Period. The probationary period for all new employees shall be nine (9) months. During the probationary period, management has the unlimited right to discipline or discharge the employee, and any discipline or discharge shall not be subject to the grievance procedure or just cause. Temporary employees hired to fill a permanent Bargaining Unit position shall have a nine (9) month probationary period, with up to nine (9) months credit toward the probationary period for time served as a temporary employee.
The Probationary Period for any Dispatcher shall commence at the date of hire and shall end eighteen (18) months from the hire date, unless extended as provided by ARTICLE VI.”
The Probationary Period. Any employee whose services have been judged unsatisfactory based on the evaluation criteria may be placed on probation by the Superintendent after October 15 of any school year, with probation continuing for sixty (60) school days of the same year. Prior to placing an employee on probation, the administrator shall have met with the employee to inform him/her that probation is being recommended. The employee shall have an opportunity to have an Association representative in attendance at the conference. The recommendation for probation is made in writing by the administrator to the Superintendent, with a copy to the employee. The recommendation for probation will include a copy of the evaluation report prepared pursuant to Section 3.1.5.G., including the specific areas of performance deficiencies, the specific ways in which the employee is to improve, and the types of assistance to be given. The Superintendent or designee shall review the administrator's recommendation for probation. If the Superintendent or designee determines there is an alternative to probation, s/he may work toward implementation of the alternative with the parties involved.
The Probationary Period. The probationary period is the time when a faculty member holds a full-time, tenure-track teaching faculty appointment leading up to and including the tenure decision. It provides faculty members the time necessary to demonstrate that they have met the standards for tenure (§3.9.7.3) while giving faculty and administrative colleagues the opportunity to observe and evaluate their performance. The length of the probationary period The probationary period extends for six (6) years unless it is reduced by contract in recognition of prior teaching or relevant professional experience. However, the probationary period may never be reduced to fewer than four (4) years of a full-time teaching appointment at the University. The precise terms of any credit given for previous experience and the consequent length of the probationary period to be served at the University will be specified in a probationary faculty member’s letter of initial appointment. The probationary period may not exceed six (6) years at the University except in extraordinary circumstances with the concurrence of the faculty member and the Xxxx. For example, the probationary period may of necessity extend beyond six years following a successful appeal (§3.10.10) of a negative tenure decision that leads to a second tenure review, or the Xxxx may accept a faculty member’s request that the time of an extended family or medical leave not count toward promotion or tenure, thereby temporarily “stopping the tenure clock” and so extending the probationary period. Any extension of the probationary period beyond six (6) years requires the explicit, written agreement of both the probationary faculty member and the Xxxx that the extension does not de facto confer tenure upon the faculty member. The University reserves the right, on rare occasions, to recognize a probationary faculty member’s superior performance by considering her or him for tenure (or for promotion and tenure) before the scheduled time. However, as indicated above, the probationary period may never be reduced to fewer than four (4) years. With the concurrence of the faculty member, the appropriate Xxxx recommends such a course of action to the Xxxxxxx, whose decision on accelerating the timing of the tenure review is final. Time to promotion vs. time to tenure The length of the probationary period and the time to the first review for promotion in rank may be different. For example, because of credited previous experience a newly appointed facu...
