 INTRODUCTORY PERIOD
The introductory period is intended to give new team members the opportunity
to demonstrate their ability to achieve a satisfactory level of performance and to determine whether the new position meets their expectations. TMCF uses this period to evaluate team member capabilities, work habits and overall performance.
All new and rehired team members work on an introductory basis for the first
90 calendar days after their date of hire. Any approved significant absence will automatically extend an introductory period by the length of the absence. If TMCF determines that the designated introductory period does not allow sufficient time to thoroughly evaluate the team member’s performance, the introductory period may be extended for a specified period.
During the introductory period, new team members are eligible for those benefits that are required by law, such as workers’ compensation insurance and social security. They may also be eligible for other TMCF-provided benefits, subject to the terms and conditions of each benefits program. Team members should read the information for each specific benefits program for the details on eligibility requirements.
While we understand that new team members will be learning a lot about their new job, new team members are still expected to perform satisfactorily, and as such, their performance will be reviewed closely. Also, new team members should understand that completion of the introductory period does not guarantee continued employment and does not change the at-will nature of the employment relationship.
