Utah Admin. Code R477-5-2 - Probationary Period
The probationary period allows management to evaluate an employee's ability to perform the duties, responsibilities, skills, and other related requirements of the assigned career service position. The probationary period shall be considered part of the selection process.
(1) Management shall provide each employee an
opportunity to demonstrate competence in a career service position by
establishing a performance plan and giving the employee feedback on performance
in relation to that plan.
(a) During the
probationary period, management may separate an employee from state employment
in accordance with Subsection R477-11-2(1).
(b) At the end of each employee's
probationary period, management shall evaluate the employee's performance. DHRM
shall enter the evaluations into the human resource information system as the
performance evaluation that reflects successful or unsuccessful completion of
probation.
(2) DHRM shall
assign a probationary period to each career service position consistent with
its job.
(a) Except for absences covered by
USERRA, management may extend the probationary period for any period of absence
or temporary transitional assignment.
(b) Management may not reduce the designated
probationary period after an employee is appointed to the position.
(c) An employee who has completed a
probationary period and obtained career service status may not be required to
serve a new probationary period, including when changing agencies, unless there
is a break in service.
(3) An employee in a career service position
who works at least 50% of the regular work schedule or more shall acquire
career service status after working the same amount of elapsed time in hours as
a full time employee would work with the same probationary period.
(4) An employee serving probation in a career
service position may accept a transfer, reassignment, promotion, or career
mobility to another career service position. Each new appointment to a career
service position shall include a new probationary period unless management
determines that the required duties or knowledge, skills, and abilities of the
old and new position are similar enough not to warrant a new probationary
period. The probationary period shall be the full probationary period defined
in the job description of the new position.
