Introductory Period for Staff Positions
New full-time and part-time staff employees
will be placed on "introductory" status for at least their first
ninety (90) days of employment. If the employee's work performance
is not satisfactory at any time during or at the end of this
period, his/her employment with Earlham may be terminated immediately.
At the end of the introductory period, an "initial evaluation" is
made by the employee's supervisor. At this time, an employee will be approved
for continued employment, have his/her introductory period extended up to ninety
(90) additional days, or have his/her employment with Earlham terminated. Employees
do not earn or accumulate sick time or vacation time during the introductory
period or extensions of this period (see Paid Sick Time and Paid Vacation Time
sections of Related Administrative Policies and Procedures).
Should an individual who is already an employee apply for, be
offered, and accept a different staff position within Earlham,
the individual will also be subject
to the standard introductory employment period in his/her new position. Should
the introductory period not be successfully completed, the individual will
be allowed to return to his/her former position if it is still
unfilled, or to a
similar position as soon as one is available (subject to the approval of
the appropriate department head or convener). Because hiring for
any position at
Earlham is the decision of the hiring supervisor, there is no guarantee of
continuing employment.
