An employee promoted or transferred to a new position will be placed in a six-month probationary period. At the end of the six-month period, the department head shall discuss the employee's performance with the Municipal Manager and/or his or her designate, and a decision will be made whether to rescind the promotion or make the promotion permanent. The decision to rescind a promotion/transfer may be made at any time prior to the end of the six-month period. Promoted/transferred employees who do not perform satisfactorily in their new position at any time during their evaluation period may, at the discretion of management, be returned to their original job, if available, be considered for other vacant positions for which they are qualified, or be discharged.
Completion of the promotion/transfer evaluation probationary period does not alter the at-will status of the employment relationship.
