GENERAL EXPECTATIONS - EMPLOYMENT
Library employees are expected to maintain high standards of personal conduct at all times. Since the quality of service provided by the Library, as judged by the public, depends upon the appearance, conduct and courtesy of its employees, it is essential that employees conduct themselves in a manner which will reflect the highest standards of behavior.
Hiring Process
The Library will advertise all open and new positions. Applicants will be judged solely on their qualifications.
Application
The Library relies upon the accuracy of information contained in the employment application, as well as the accuracy of other data presented throughout the hiring process and employment. Any misrepresentations, falsifications, or material omissions in any of this information or data may result in the exclusion of the individual from further consideration for employment or, if the person has been hired, termination of employment.
Probationary Period
The probation period for all employees shall be three (3) months. Any significant absence will automatically extend a probationary period by the length of the absence, not to exceed three (3) months The Library is not obligated to retain an employee for the entire three-month probationary period if the employee’s job performance is not satisfactory, if the employee is significantly absent during the probationary period, or if there is little evidence that further training would rectify the situation.
During the probationary period, the employee will receive daily training and coaching provided by assigned mentors and the Operations and Personnel Manager. Appraisal of the employee and recommendation to retain, terminate, or extend the probationary period of the employee will be made by the Operations and Personnel Manager. If the Operations and Personnel Manager determines that additional time is necessary to thoroughly evaluate the employee's performance, the Operations and Personnel Manager may extend the probationary period for a specified time, not to exceed an additional three (3) months. An employee who successfully completes the probationary period becomes a regular employee of the Library. Successful completion of a probationary period does not create an express or implied contract of employment or otherwise alter the employment-at-will relationship between the Library and its employees.
