At the conclusion of the probationary period, the employee may receive written notification of the successful completion of the probationary period using the Probationary Period Report Form. The employee should receive a copy of the completed Probationary Period Report form. The original form should be filed in the employee’s departmental personnel file. (Human Resources does not retain a copy centrally.) Typically, new employees should also receive a written performance review at the mid-point and conclusion of the probationary period.
