Introductory Period

Non-Exempt Staff:

There is a three (3) month introductory period for all new staff employees. This period provides for job adjustment and an opportunity for you and your supervisor to determine whether or not to continue the employment relationship.

Exempt Staff Administration:

There is a six (6) month introductory period for all new administrative personnel. This period provides for job adjustment and an opportunity for you and the University to determine whether or not to continue the employment relationship.

This introductory period for non-exempt and exempt staff may be extended if your supervisor and the Assistant Vice President of Human Resources feel more time is needed to evaluate your performance.

Prior to the expiration of the introductory period, your supervisor will evaluate your performance and complete an evaluation form that is forwarded to the Assistant Vice President of Human Resources. A decision will be made as to whether employment at WPI will continue.
