Maintain Probationary Period
The probationary period serves as an extension of the selection process. It provides time for the new employee to adjust to the duties and expectations of the position, as well as allows the supervisor time to ensure the new employee can satisfactorily meet performance expectations before granting permanent status. This workflow will allow the employee's probationary period to be extended past the initial probationary period established upon hire. This workflow can not be used to extend an employee's probationary period if the end date for that employee's probationary period has already passed.
