151B.070 Employment status. (1) All certified and equivalent employees shall serve a one (1) year probationary period for renewal of limited status. An employee may be separated from the
position or reduced in class during this initial probationary period and shall not have
a right to appeal except as provided in KRS 151B.055. If the employee is separated
from the position, notice in writing shall be received at least ten (10) working days
prior to separation. A copy of the notification shall be forwarded to the
commissioner. Unless the commissioner notifies the employee of separation prior to
the end of the initial probationary period, the employee shall be eligible for
renewable limited status. Limited status employees are subject to reemployment on
an annual basis. Limited status employees may be dismissed without cause before
the annual anniversary date. (2) After completion of the initial probationary period, the individual shall be considered on limited status until successful completion of the fourth year, at which
time the employee may be placed on continuing status. (3) An employee who has been assigned continuing status may not be demoted, disciplined, or dismissed without cause except as provided by provisions in this
chapter. (4) An employee with continuing status who has been promoted shall serve a probationary period of one (1) year in the new position. During the period of
promotional probation, the employee shall retain the rights and privileges granted
by the provisions of this chapter to continuing status employees. (5) During the promotional probationary period, the employee with continuing status may be reverted at the discretion of the appointing authority to a position in the
class formerly held. (6) A continuing status employee who has been laid off may return to a position with continuing status if an appropriate position is available. Effective: July 14, 2000
