A three month period of provisional status is required for an employee who has been transferred or reassigned regardless of whether it is a lateral move, a promotion or a demotion. The probationary or provisional status period shall be utilized for evaluating the staff member's ability and willingness to perform the assigned duties. Provisional status may be extended for a period of up to three additional months by mutual agreement between the unit administrator and the Employment Services Department. During the probationary period a staff member may be dismissed, or in case of provisional status returned to previous unit or classification, at any time without a statement of cause and without the right of appeal.
