Iowa Admin. Code r. 11-58.1 - Duration
All original full-time or part-time appointments to permanent positions shall require a six-month period of probationary status. Appointments to peace officer positions at the department of public safety require a 12-month probationary period following appointment. Employees with probationary status shall not be eligible for promotion, reinstatement following separation, or other rights to positions unless provided for in this chapter, nor have reduction in force, recall, or appeal rights.
A six-month period of probationary status may, at the discretion of the appointing authority and with notice to the employee and the director, be required upon reinstatement, and all rules regarding probationary status shall apply during that period.
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all executive branch employees, except employees of the board of regents, unless collective bargaining agreements provide otherwise.
