Civil service: rejected probationer: investigation.

Existing law requires the service of a probationary period under specified circumstances, including when an employee enters the civil service. Under existing law, the probationer may be rejected by the appointing power during the probationary period for reasons relating to the probationer's qualifications, the good of the service, or failure to demonstrate merit, efficiency, fitness, and moral responsibility. Existing law requires the State Personnel Board to prescribe rules regarding the time in which a probationer may be rejected and take certain actions in an investigation of the reasons for that rejection. Existing law exempts employees of State Bargaining Unit 5, the California Association of Highway Patrolmen, from these rules and actions of the board, as specified. This bill would delete these exceptions relating to members of State Bargaining Unit 5.
