Title 5 provides the criteria for determining probationary periods of "administrative" and "nonacademic" Confidential classifications.

• 1-Year Probation - A "nonacademic" Confidential employee who serves full-time for one year gains permanent status at the beginning of the second year. “Nonacademic employees” means an employee who provides non-instructional and non-administrative supporting services such as secretarial, clerical, and maintenance services. Full-time temporary service counts toward the one year probationary period. Part-time service is excluded from the probationary period.
• 2-Year Probation - An "administrative" Confidential employee who serves full-time for two years gains permanent status at the beginning of the third year. “Administrative employee” means an employee engaged primarily in one or a combination of professional or quasi-professional activities. Full-time temporary service counts toward the two year probationary period.
• An employee serves one probationary period within a classification; it can be at any skill level. If an employee moves to a higher skill level within the same classification, no new probationary period is served.
