Background: An Introductory Period is in place to enhance the newly hired, transferred, or promoted team members' understanding of performance expectations required for the position. During this period the team member should demonstrate ability and probability of successful performance, including the understanding of criteria to be used for assessing performance, and to assist supervisors and managers in assessing performance against clearly defined and measurable expectations. Policy: All new, rehired, transferred or promoted RubinBrown team members are subject to an Introductory Period of 90 days (except as otherwise expressly agreed). Concerns regarding performance will be brought to the team member’s attention in a professional and timely manner by the Career Advocate(s) for understanding and self correction. Procedure: Upon completion of the Introductory Period, the team member and Career Advocate(s) will complete a 90-Day Introductory Period Review Form providing specific feedback on the team member’s performance. Evaluations will include recommendation on granting regular status, extension of introductory period or termination. Completion of the Introductory Period does not guarantee employment for any period of time thereafter. All team members are employed at-will both during and after completion of this period. New team members whose initial job performance is unsatisfactory after reasonable efforts have been made to improve performance may be terminated at any time prior to completion of the introductory period. Transferred or promoted team members who prove incapable of holding the new position due to lack of skill, ability, or other relevant factors during or upon completion of the introductory period, may be returned to their former position with salary subject to change. In certain cases (e.g., failure to adhere to any RubinBrown policies or procedures), team members will be subject to normal disciplinary actions up to and including termination (also see “Termination of Employment”, Policy Number 209).
