INTRODUCTORY PERIOD

For every new Employee, the first 90 days of employment is an Introductory Period. During this time, Employees are able to learn about the University, their job, and their new surroundings.

During these first 90 days, the Employee’s job performance, attendance, and overall interest in their job will be observed by their Supervisor. Throughout the Introductory Period, the University will assess the individual’s suitability as an Employee. Employees who fail to demonstrate the commitment and performance expected by the University may be separated from employment at any time during the Introductory Period. Completion of the Introductory Period does not change or alter the At-Will employment relationship. Employees continue to have the right to separate their employment at any time, with or without cause or notice, and the University has a similar right.

For reasons identified by management, the University may choose to extend an Employee’s Introductory Period as necessary to give the Employee a further opportunity to demonstrate their ability to perform their job. If an Employee’s Introductory Period is extended, the Employee will be notified.
