Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 32, August 8, 2024

Section 1-7-3 - Probationary period required

(a) The probationary period shall be considered as a working test of the employee's ability to perform adequately in the position to which the employee was hired. In order to aid the agency in developing efficient employees, the supervisor shall give reasonable instruction and training that may be required throughout the probationary period. Each appointing authority shall establish procedures so that any problems with probationary employees will be brought to the attention of the agency management for appropriate action before the end of the probationary period.

(b) Before the end of the probationary period, the appointing authority shall provide the director with results of a performance review for the employee. If the overall performance review rating given to a probationary employee before the end of the employee's probationary period is unsatisfactory, the employee shall not be granted permanent status. The performance review ratings required by this subsection shall not be required to occur within the time period established in K.A.R. 1-7-10 (a)(3).

(c) Except as provided in K.A.R. 1-7-4, all new hires, promotions, and rehires shall be tentative and subject to a probationary period as authorized by K.A.R. 1-7-4. If the probationary period of an employee is to be extended as authorized by K.A.R. 1-7-4, the appointing authority, before the end of the probationary period, shall furnish the employee with a copy of the performance review stating that the probationary period is extended. Results of the performance review shall be provided to the director.

(d) Any probationary employee, other than an employee on probation due to a promotion from a position in which the employee had permanent status, may be dismissed by the appointing authority at any time during the probationary period.

(e) This regulation shall be effective on and after October 1, 2009.
