(For Classified Staff on a Promotion/Transfer Probationary Period)

Supervisors: Use this format to generate a draft Promotion/Transfer Probationary Termination Notice in accordance with Classified Staff Policy 112.0, Probationary Periods. This termination notice only applies to Classified Staff employees still in their six-month promotion/transfer probationary period and is issued when satisfactory performance is not achieved following a transfer/promotion performance improvement memorandum. (This format is not for a six-month initial probationary employee.)

Keep in mind that an employee on a promotion/transfer probationary period:

• Serves a six-month probationary period and the transfer/promotion probationary termination must occur on or before the last day of probation. (For example, if promoted or transferred on May 10, the last day of probation is November 9)
• May be eligible to be paid for accumulated vacation in accordance with the Classified Staff Policy 200.0, Vacation.
• Must be paid all wages due within three working days following the termination date or on the payday following the end of the regular pay period, whichever is sooner.

Human Resources Consulting Services or HR at AHSC is available to consult about termination of a promotion/transfer probationary employee or to clarify the probationary period of your employee.
