(a) Any employee who receives a performance rating that is lower than the highest possible rating may appeal that rating if the employee meets either of the following conditions:

(1) The employee has permanent status, including an employee with permanent status who is serving a probationary period due to a promotion.

(2) The employee is serving a probationary period due to a rehire on the basis of reinstatement.

(b)

(1) If an action concerning the end of probationary status is dependent upon the performance review, the appeal committee may make a recommendation to the appointing authority concerning whether or not to grant permanent status to the employee. However, the appointing authority shall have the right to make the determination of whether or not to grant permanent status, subject to whatever limitations are imposed by the performance rating of the performance review prepared by the appeal committee.

(2) Notwithstanding the limits on the duration of probationary periods established elsewhere in these regulations, the appointing authority may extend the probationary period for a limited period of time as necessary to allow the appeal committee to prepare the final performance review. The total amount of time of this extension shall not exceed 60 calendar days.

(3) The appointing authority shall report to the director each extension of a probationary period made pursuant to this regulation.

(c) This regulation shall be effective on and after October 1, 2009.
