Probation terms prescribe appointment and promotion periods, permit variation, condition confirmation, and allow discharge or reversion for unsatisfactory performance.

Probation lasts two years for direct appointees and one year for promoted employees. The Chairperson may extend probation for up to one year because of unsatisfactory performance, or reduce or waive it for recorded reasons. Confirmation after successful probation remains subject to the Departmental Promotion Committee procedure. A probationer may be discharged on prescribed notice or pay in lieu, while an internally selected employee may be reverted to the previous grade without notice or pay in lieu for unsatisfactory performance.
