Probation
Gavin Younge paving, Drostdy Lawns
The period of probation for academics is usually three years. Provided that all the probation requirements are met, this period may be shortened as follows:
- For prospective staff members: in discussion with the Director: HR at the time of the acceptance of employment; and
- For current staff members: in discussion with the Head of Department (HoD) and Dean who will make a recommendation to the Director: Human Resources.
Probation requirements are outlined in the contract of employment. As a new staff member you will receive a letter notifying you of the probation process and requirements:
Academic leave is usually only approved after a period of three years at the institution. Personal promotion is usually applied for after confirmation of appointment, following probation.
