6-20:  Mandatory Programs         

Hearing officer erroneously interpreted rules in concluding that a probationary employee can attain career status by default without having completed mandatory training programs if the agency fails to timely request an extension of probation and/or erroneously certifies that the employee successfully completed probation.  In re Sample, CSB 72-07, 3 (10/16/08).   

The responsibility to ensure that a probationary employee completes the training mandatory under § 6-20 A is shared equally among the employee, the agency and CSA.  In re Sample, CSB 72-07, 3 ( 10/16/08).

Failure to complete the mandatory training programs serves to automatically extend an employee’s probation until such training is complete.  In re Sample, CSB 72-07, 3-4 (10/16/08).
