    Subdivision 1. General. All appointments to positions in the classified service shall be for a
probationary period which shall be not less than three months of full-time equivalent service nor
more than one year of full-time equivalent service as determined by the Personnel Department or
through collective bargaining agreements. An appointing authority may require a probationary
period for interdepartmental transfers, reemployments, reinstatements, voluntary demotions, and
appointments from layoff lists or of former employees of a different appointing authority. For
employees in a collective bargaining unit the requirement of a probationary period shall be subject
to applicable provisions of collective bargaining agreements.
    Subd. 2. Termination during probationary period. There is no presumption of continued
employment during a probationary period. Terminations or demotions may be made at any
time during the probationary period with or without cause and employees terminated during a
probationary period shall have no further right to appeal. If during the probationary period an
employee with permanent status is dismissed, the employee shall be restored to a position in
the employee's former class and department.
