Orientation Period

For all new and rehired employees, there is an orientation or probationary period of up to ninety (90) calendar days. As is always true during an employee’s employment with the University, employment is not for any specific time and may be terminated at will, with or without cause and without prior notice, including prior to the completion of the orientation period. An employee’s supervisor, in consultation with Human Resources, may choose to extend an employee’s orientation period for up an additional 90 days as needed to fully evaluate the employee’s performance, account for excused absences, and/or acquire additional training for the employee to perform their job duties. Probationary periods extensions should be communicated to the employee before the end of their orientation/probationary period.
