The Orientation Period consists of the first six (6) months of employment.

Performance, skills, ability, and other factors observed and demonstrated during the period are evaluated by the employee's supervisor.

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. Reinstatement is not guaranteed. Emplo�rees taking a leave of absence during the Orientation Period will have their Orientation Period paused and begin where they left off when they return from leave.
