The first six months of employment are considered an introduction to the position, allowing for time to train and evaluate student employees’ effective adjustment to work tasks, conduct, oral and documented procedures, attendance and job responsibilities. It is suggested and encouraged that managers conduct a performance appraisal prior to the completion of the six-month introductory period. When an evaluation is completed and expectations have been met, you may submit a pay raise or salary change request.
If the performance appraisal is not completed prior to the end of the introductory period, the employee will be considered to be in good standing as of the introductory end date. Student employees are not subject to progressive discipline for poor job performances or policy violations during their introductory period (see Progressive Discipline Policy). All completed performance appraisals should be submitted to our office for review. Once reviewed by our team, all appraisals will be stored with Human Resources.
Please Note: Should problems arise with your student employees, you must contact Fatima Mohammed, Assistant Director, Office of Student Employment, for a consultation.
