New Hire Probation

New Hire Probation

Academic & School of Medicine Employees

Per the HRM-020: Probationary Period for University Staff Employees policy: “All University Staff employees in Managerial & Professional and Operational & Administrative Staff positions, newly hired or rehired following a break in service, must serve a minimum twelve-month probationary period effective from the date of hire.”

There are typically three forms Academic New Hires complete in Workday throughout the 12-month probation period:

  1. New Hire Goal Setting (within 30-days of hire date)
  2. Probation Mid-Year Touchpoint (six month review)
  3. Probation Year-End Appraisal (end of probation review)

Employees whose school or unit participates in the PE Quarterly Process complete a Quarterly Performance Check-In template instead of the above three templates.

After completion of your probation period and final year-end appraisal, you'll participate in your school or unit's regular performance review process.
