Managerial Options During Probation:
Regular meetings and a summary discussion of the probationary period should be scheduled with the new employee. If desired, the manager may ask the employee to complete a self review for discussion purposes, however, Human Resources no longer requires that a self-review form be submitted from the employee. Managers should retain copies of any self-review documentation provided by the employee in their departmental employee files. Supervisors will provide their feedback via the online form only. A paper review form from the supervisor is no longer required by Human Resources.
