policies, rules, and procedures and follow the instructions of their supervisors. All City of Elk River employees are expected to meet the following job requirements: • Perform assigned duties satisfactorily and to the best of their abilities at all times. • Render prompt and courteous service to the public at all times. • Read, understand, and comply with the rules and regulations as set forth in these Personnel Policies as well as those of their departments. • Conduct themselves with decorum toward both residents and staff and respond to inquiries and information requests with patience and courtesy. • Report any and all unsafe conditions to the immediate supervisor. • Maintain good attendance. Orientation Period The Orientation Period is an integral part of the employment process in which the city and the new employee should consider whether the employment is mutually satisfactory. The Orientation Period consists of the first six (6) months of employment. During the period, the city will observe the employee's work to determine whether the employee demonstrates that s/he is qualified for the position to which s/he was appointed. Performance, skills, ability, and other factors observed and demonstrated during the period are evaluated by the employee's supervisor in order to determine whether the employee will be retained. If the employee does not meet established standards, and there is reason to believe, in the city's sole discretion, that a longer review period is needed, the Orientation Period may be extended to a total of 12 months.

If found during the orientation to be unsuited for the position, the city, at its sole discretion, may reinstate the employee to his/her former position and former rate of pay.
