SECTION 3.60 TRAINEE/JOURNEY RECLASSIFICATION

Last Update: 9/03

Following is a list of job class series in which the employee must serve a minimum trainee period before progressing to the journey level or higher. Different classes have different minimum trainee time periods. Consult the "Qualifications" section of the journey level class description for specifics. Trainee/journey reclassifications are not automatic.

Supervisors are responsible for reviewing the progress of the employee in the trainee class. If the employee's performance is not at the journey level, the trainee period may be extended beyond the minimum time required. Under no circumstance can the period of time be shorter than that required on the journey level class description.

When the employee is performing at the journey level, a performance evaluation must be completed and the personnel assistant asked to prepare a Position Change Request (M-5) to have the employee's position changed to the journey level.

The review of the employee's performance and the processing of the Position Change Request (M-5) should be started one month prior to the time the employee is to be reclassified to the journey class.
