Entrance probation is the probationary service required of an employee at the time of his original appointment or any subsequent appointment to state classified service excluding reinstatement and transfer, the duration of which is one thousand forty (1,040) hours of credited state service except for peace officers (defined in Section 19-5101, Idaho Code), who must serve two thousand eighty (2,080) hours.b. Promotional probation is the probationary service required when an employee is promoted, the duration of which is one thousand forty (1,040) hours of credited state service except for peace officers (defined in Section 19-5101, Idaho Code), who must serve two thousand eighty (2,080) hours.c. Voluntary probation is an agreement between employees and the appointing authority for employment actions such as reinstatement, transfer, or voluntary demotion. The probationary period is negotiable but may not exceed one thousand forty (1,040) hours of credited state service except for peace officers (defined in Section 19-5101, Idaho Code), who may serve up to two thousand eighty (2,080) hours.03.Extension of Probationary Period. Upon written request demonstrating good cause, the administrator may extend the probationary period of an employee for an additional specified period not to exceed one thousand forty (1,040) hours of credited state service.
