(B) All appointments leading to regular status in full-time or part-time permanent positions shall be subject to successful completion of a probationary period. The probationary period shall be regarded as an integral part of the selection process and shall be used for evaluating the employee’s performance and adjustment to the position and for rejecting any employee whose performance or conduct is unsatisfactory. The probationary period shall be 12 months, except where probation of a different duration is proscribed by applicable law or regulation. Employees in probationary status serve at the will of the county. Employees who are not dismissed during the probationary period will be deemed to have successfully completed their probation and will attain regular status in the position.
(C) For purposes of administrative efficiency and proper personnel management, the county shall maintain a current position classification plan that standardizes position titles indicating the duties and responsibilities of each position. The County Manager has delegated the administration and maintenance of the classification plan to the Human Resources Director, who shall determine the duties of each position and shall promulgate procedures to establish, revise and maintain the classification plan so that it accurately reflects the duties performed by each employee in the classification system. The Human Resources Director shall make administrative amendments to the classification plan which includes amending the job family, sub family, title and level of positions as needed and based on labor market conditions.
