A probationary period may be extended for a maximum of six months at the request of the department head.
On or before the probationary period expired, the immediate supervisor shall file a statement in writing with the Personnel Director containing an appraisal indicative of the probationary employee's service value to the Town and indicating whether or not the probationer's retention in the service is desirable.
During the probationary period, an employee may be rejected by the appointing authority without the right to review of any kind. Notification of the rejection must be made in writing by the appointing authority to the Personnel Director who may investigate the circumstances of the rejection.
