Chapter 3 – Personnel, Training, and Employee Relations

33010.21.2 Probationary Employees

• Generally, transfer requests shall only be considered if the employees have permanent status in their present classification. This allows:

  • The employee to demonstrate he/she can satisfactorily perform the duties of the class in which he/she is serving probation prior to being moved to different surroundings and new supervisors.

  • Opportunity to consistently evaluate the employee’s work performance and his/her ability to perform the work of the class.

• Requests shall be reviewed to determine if it is preferable to delay transfer until completion of probation.

• The hiring authority at either the sending or receiving institution/facility/program may refuse such transfer.

• Hardship transfers for custody classifications occurring within the probationary period require the approval of the Director, Division of Adult Institutions.

• For employees transferred in current probationary class, the length of probation remains unchanged.

  • If the requested transfer is to another class, the employee shall meet the standards governing transfers between civil service classes.

  • Serve a new probationary period unless waived by the hiring authority under provisions of the GCGovernment Code.
