Probation Period

Probation periods are for these employee categories:

• Civil Servant on Probation

• Public Sector Employee (PSE)

• Judge on Probation

• Apprentice

The following rules must be followed for the probation:

• If you have a person who has the Civil Servant on Probation or Judge on Probation employee category and change it to a Civil Servant on Tenure or Judge on Tenure employee category, the minimum probation months must be verified to ensure they have fulfilled the probation period before the employee category is saved successfully.

• When the employee category is updated from Civil Servant on Probation to Civil Servant on Tenure before the end of the probation period, the system displays this warning: “Minimum Probation Period has not been completed, please verify.”

Note:

Validation is also required when the contract type associated to the individual is changed.

• In the Contracts form, when the contract type is updated to On Lifetime before the end of the probation period, the system displays this warning message: “Minimum Probation Period has not been completed, please verify.” This is also true for both Civil Servant on Probation moving to Civil Servant on Tenure and Judge on Probation moving to Judge on Tenure.

• If you have a person with the Public Sector Employee category, the system uses a standard probation period and uses the end date on the job page. Since you do not change the employee category for a Public Sector Employee worker, the system does not use the same validation method. For these employees, you will not assign a new or other contract.

As mentioned previously, the validation of the person’s minimum age must also be completed in addition to a check for whether the minimum probation period has been completed before a change to the employee category is successfully saved.
