The purpose of the probationary period is to evaluate whether the employee can meet the performance requirements of the position to which the employee has been assigned. The duration of the initial probationary period must be for six months. However, an agency may use a probationary period with a longer duration if it is needed to determine satisfactory performance, and if it does not exceed one year's duration.
