(a) Each new hire and each rehire made on a
basis other than reemployment or reinstatement who is employed in a regular
position shall be subject to a probationary period of six months. This
probationary period may be extended by the appointing authority for not more
than six additional months if action to extend the probationary period is taken
before the end of the original six-month probationary period. A probationary
period of not more than 12 months may be established by the appointing
authority if specific training or certification requirements for a position
cannot be completed within six months.
(b) Each employee who is promoted shall be
subject to a probationary period of not less than three months and not more
than six months as determined by the appointing authority. However, a
probationary period of not more than 12 months may be established by the
appointing authority if specific training or certification requirements for a
position cannot be completed within six months. Each employee with permanent
status who serves a probationary period in accordance with this subsection
shall retain permanent status throughout the probationary period.
(c) Each person rehired on the basis of
reemployment shall have permanent status effective on the date of

appointing authority.
(e) Time on
leave with or without pay of more than 30 consecutive calendar days shall not
count towards total time served on probation. The employee's probationary

the total probation time served equals the time required for the
position.

permanent status who is transferred from one agency to another, or transferred
within the same agency, shall continue to have permanent status.

from one position in a class to another position in the same class or another
class in the same pay grade, the transfer shall have no effect on the

appointing authority for not more than six additional months by giving written
notice of the extension to the employee and director before the expiration of
the original six-month probationary period.
