Conn. Gen. Stat. § 5-230

Current with legislation from the 2024 Regular and Special Sessions.
Section 5-230 - Working test periods

The Commissioner of Administrative Services shall establish appropriate working test periods of not less than three months nor more than one year for the various classes of positions. Within ten days preceding the termination of the working test period, and at such other times as the commissioner deems appropriate, the appointing authority shall report to the commissioner whether such employee is able and willing to perform his duties in a manner so as to merit permanent appointment. At any time during the working test period, after fair trial, the appointing authority may remove any employee if, in the opinion of such appointing authority, the working test indicates that such employee is unable or unwilling to perform his or her duties so as to merit continuance in such position and shall report such removal to the commissioner. The name of any employee so removed, but who is considered by the commissioner to be suitable for employment in some other department, agency or institution, may be restored to the candidate list if such list is active. For the purposes of this section, any employee who has served part of a working test period in a position in the classified service who is, pursuant to examination, appointed to, and serves part of a working test period in, a position in a higher classification in a field of work directly related to his or her prior position, from which new position he or she is dismissed, shall, at his or her option, be reappointed to the position which such employee first had and his or her service in the working test period for such first position shall be deemed to include the time spent in the working test period for the higher position.
