<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />City of La Porte <br />Personnel Policies <br /> <br />SECTION 3 - BENEFITS ELIGIBILITY <br /> <br />Regular full-time employees are eligible to receive the full scope and level of benefits <br />offered by the City. Regular part-time employees are not eligible to receive any benefits <br />other than worker's compensation coverage. Temporary employees, whether full or part- <br />time are not eligible to receive any benefits other than worker's compensation coverage. <br /> <br />SECTION 4 - EMERGENCY TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS <br /> <br />During an emergency, where th~ services of personnel who are not otherwise available <br />may be needed, the City Manager may immediately appoint such personnel without <br />regard to normal selection and appointment methods. This category of personnel is <br />hired on a temporary basis and, therefore, is not eligible for benefits other than worker's <br />compensation coverage. <br /> <br />SECTION 5 - INTRODUCTORY EMPLOYMENT PERIOD <br /> <br />Every person appointed, reinstated, promoted, demoted, or transferred within the City <br />service shall be required to successfully complete an introductory period of six (6) <br />months. <br /> <br />Department Directors and supervisors shall use the introductory period to closely observe <br />and evaluate the work and fitness of the employee and to encourage adjustment in their <br />work performance to better fulfill the expectations of the job description. Only those <br />employees who maintain acceptable work performance during their introductory periods <br />shall be retained. <br /> <br />An introductory employee's evaluation period may be extended up to 60 days to allow <br />for closer scrutiny of the employee's work. <br /> <br />Introductory employees who are injured on or off the job, and are out for a period of time, <br />may have their introductory period extended for the same amount of time as they were <br />out. <br /> <br />Any introductory extensions must have the City Manager's approval prior to any action <br />being taken. ' <br /> <br />SECTION 6 - FAILURE OF INTRODUCTORY PERIOD <br /> <br />An employee shall fail the introductory period when, in the judgement of the Department <br />Director, the employee's fitness, quantity and/or quality of work are not such as to merit <br />continuation of employment. Failure of the introductory period may occur at any time <br />within the introductory period and shall not be considered part of the disciplinary process. <br />As with any employment case, Department Directors and supervisors shall ensure the <br />thorough documentation of all cases of failure of the introductory period. <br /> <br />9 <br />
