Every person appointed to a position in the classified service from a list shall serve a probational period or working test before being given a status as a regular employee. The probational period shall begin on the effective date of appointment to the position, and shall continue for such time as shall be determined by the rules.
Periodically during the working tests period and in such manner as the Director of Personnel requires, the department head concerned shall report to the Director of Personnel his observation of the employee's work, and his judgment as to the ability of the employee to perform satisfactorily the duties of the position. Ten days prior to the completion of the working test period the department head shall notify the Director of Personnel in writing as to whether or not the employee should be continued in the position.
If at any time during the probational period the department head reports that the employee is unable or unwilling to perform satisfactorily the duties of the position, the Director of Personnel may recommend to the appointing authority the removal of such employee. Such recommendation and the reason for it shall be entered in the records of the Office of the Director of Personnel. The Director of Personnel may recommend the removal of an employee during his probational period if he finds, after giving the employee notice and an opportunity to be heard, that such employee was appointed as a result of fraud or error.
