PROBATIONARY PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT • Your first 520 hours (approximately 3 months for full time employees) of employment are considered a "trial or probationary period". This period gives your Supervisor an opportunity to determine whether you are able to perform the work assigned you. It also gives you the opportunity to decide whether you are satis- fied with your job. During this period you will be subject to all the rules and regulations of a permanent employee. If your work or conduct during this period of time is not satisfactory, your Depart- ment Head has the prerogative of dismissing you, or you may leave without prejudice. Upon completion of this period (520 hours), you are considered to have permanent status. HEALTH INFORMATION Before final acceptance for employment, applicants are re- quired to pass a physical examination. A Department Head may request a physical examination for an employee in his department at any time if he has reason to believe there is need for one. HEALTH INSURANCE The City of La Porte pays the entire cost of health insurance for the employee and his family. Beginning with the first day of • employment and terminating on the last day of employment. Also included in this insurance is $5,000 life insurance for the employee only. SALARY INFORMATION The amount of your salary will be discussed when it is de- cided that you will work with us. Many factors will influence the amount you will receive. We know that one job may require more skill and training than another. One person may have the working experience which would help us give better service to our citizens. When you may receive a salary increase will depend on you. Consider yourself as your Department Head sees you in your daily work. Study your own willingness to learn to accept changes. Rate yourself honestly on dependability, and on your ability to work with other people. See that you are always neat and clean and that you take special care to remove body odors. See that you are a person who can keep from idle talk and gossip both when on and off duty. Consider your real knowledge of your job. Do you really understand how it fits in with other jobs to help us give the best possible service. SALARY INCREASES Upon being recommended for a salary increase by the full time employee's Supervisor and Department Head, such increase will • normally become effective on the beginning of the next pay period after consideration. 4
