Every original appointment in the municipal
service shall be for a probationary period of six months, except in
the Police and Fire Departments where the period is 12 months.
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.
