Running the Probation Termination Automatic Action

To run the probation termination automatic action:

  1. Verify all of the data required for automatic probation termination processing.

    1. Verify the employee's probation waiting period (Probation Date) and the position to which the employee reports (Reports To Position) on the Employment 2 page, accessed from the HR Request menu.

      If the employee has multiple data rows, verify only the current row.

    2. Verify accumulated non-pay hours that affect the employee's probation termination date on the Non - Pay Data page.

  2. Run the 60 Day Probation Term Notices process from the Process Automated Actions USF page.

    During this process, the system performs the following functions:

    • Identifies employees who have a probation termination within the next 60 days, and then creates supervisor notifications. After the notices are created, the supervisor has until the probation termination date to request an extension of the probation period. The system processes the probation termination if the supervisor doesn't respond in time.

    • Adds a row to the automatic action control table (GVT_AUTO_ACTN), which records the employee ID, employee record number, automatic action type, and automatic action date.

      The system differentiates among the three probation termination types: standard, supervisor, and SES. This table also indicates whether the notification was sent to the specified worklist, whether the action was processed, and whether notification of the processed action was sent to the specified worklist.

  3. Run the Process Probation Terminations process from the Process Automated Actions USF page.

    The automatic action process updates the records of all employees previously identified in the 60 Day Probation Term Notices process unless the supervisor has extended their probation periods. The probation termination automatic action performs the following functions on the probation termination date:

    • Edits the applicable row in the automatic action control table (GVT_AUTO_ACTN) to indicate that the probation termination was processed.

      This row was created during the 60-Day Probation Term Notices process.

    • Deselects the probation date on the employee's current Employment 2 page.

    • Creates a supervisor notice indicating that the probation termination was processed.

  4. View notices of upcoming probation terminations on the 60 Day Prob Term page.

    Supervisors and human resources officials can view 60-day notifications online. After viewing these online messages of impending probationary period termination, they should verify that the employee will fulfill all of your agency's requirements by the specified date. To extend the probation period, the supervisor should request a personnel action to change the probation date on the employee's Employment 2 page. If the employee's probation date isn't changed, the probation termination will occur on the date indicated.
