A RESOLUTION AMENDING ARTICLE 7 OF THE PERSONNEL MANUAL
OF THE CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS, ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NUMBER
92-4444, REGARDING PROBATION; AND REPEALING THE EXISTING SECTION.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the City of
Salina, Kansas:
Section 1. That Article 7 of the Personnel Manual of the City of
Salina, Kansas, regarding vacations, is hereby amended to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 7
PROBATION
Every person initially appointed to employment
with the City of Salina (with the exception of the
following classifications: police officer, firefighter and
paramedic) shall be considered as being on probation for
the first six (6) full calendar months of employment,
unless specifically exempt by the City Manager. The
probation period for those classifications listed above
will be one (1) year. The probation period is intended to
serve two purposes:
1. It should be considered as a trial period for
both the employee and the employer. In fact, it
constitutes the final phase of the selection
process. It should give the employee the
opportunity to make an on-the-job assessment of
the work, the department, etc. This will permit
the employee to decide, without obligation, if
the job requirements are what was expected.
2. To permit the supervisors and department head to
closely observe and evaluate the ability and
willingness of the employee to adequately carry
out the duties of the position. For most jobs
within the municipal operation, this is a period
of orientation and indoctrination. The employee
is to be given entry level instruction, training
and close supervision in order to afford the
maximum opportunity to become a real asset to
the organization. During this time, supervisors
shall encourage and assist the individual in
making a successful adjustment to the job.
Only those employees who meet an acceptable
minimum standard of work during the initial probationary
period will be retained. This determination shall be based
on the total evaluations of the supervisors and department
head. Upon satisfactory completion of the probationary
period, the department head shall submit a personnel
change form to the City Manager, recommending that the
employee be granted regular employee status.
Section 2. That the existing Article 7 of the Personnel Manual of
the City of Salina, Kansas, is hereby repealed.
Section 3. That this resolution shall be in full force and effect
from and after its adoption.
Adopted by the Board of Commissioners and signed by the Mayor this
18th day of May, 1992.
