All new classified employees and classified employees who transfer to a position in another department are subject to serve a three month probationary period.
It is recommended that employees are reviewed during their probationary period at 2, 4, and 6 months from their hire date or date of transfer.
If there are any performance concerns during the probationary review period, a probationary review can be completed at anytime. Contact an Employee Relations Advisor within the Human Resources Department at (713) 500-3130 for performance concerns and/or if you plan to recommend an employee for dismissal.
Probationary reviews are created and completed by managers using the Performance Management system, Perform2Achieve.
