(A) Regular appointment to a position in the classified service shall be made only upon satisfactory completion of the probationary period. Unless action is taken by the Department Director with the approval of the City Manager to dismiss, separate or demote the employee or to request extension of the probationary period prior to the end of the probationary period, the appointment shall become a regular appointment and the employee shall become an employee with regular status on the first working day following completion of the probationary period.
(B) The probationary period of an employee may be extended for a period of time usually not to exceed three months. Notice of such extension and the reasons for it shall be given in writing to the employee prior to the end of the established probationary period.
(C) At any time during the probationary period, an employee who has not completed their probationary period may be disciplined, dismissed, demoted, or separated from their position for any reason with or without just cause and without recourse to the grievance procedure. Written notice shall be given to the probationary employee prior to taking action.
