D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 8, r. 8-A1210
Upon his or her initial appointment, an employee shall be subject to a one (1) year probationary period. The probationary period shall be used to evaluate the performance of the employee.
The Dean may waive the probationary period for any employee who has previously completed a probationary period in the field of speciality for which that person is being hired at the School of Law.
If an employee serves under a temporary or part-time appointment in the same position for twelve (12) consecutive months or longer, and is subsequently assigned permanent full-time status in that position, he or she shall be deemed to have fulfilled the requirement to serve a probationary period.
An employee who is promoted to a higher level position prior to the completion of the required probationary period in a lower position shall concurrently satisfy the probationary time requirements of the lower position while serving in the higher position. Satisfactory performance in the higher level position shall be deemed to satisfy the remaining time requirement for probation in the lower position for purposes of § 1212.2.
