(B) An employee promoted to a position shall complete a probationary period of three months if the position to which they are promoted is non-supervisory or a probationary period of six months if the position to which they are promoted is supervisory.
(C) When an employee transfers to a different position in the same class within a department, a new probationary period shall be served.
