Employee Probation and Evaluation of Professional Employees

All Professional Employees who are employed during their first three consecutive years at Colby Community College or during their first two consecutive years of employment at Colby Community College after prior Professional Employment in Kansas higher education shall be deemed to be in a probationary status. Any contract with any such employee may or may not be renewed during this probationary period, as the Board shall determine without further liability to either party. The reasons for the non-renewal shall be left to the discretion of the Board and shall not be subject to challenge, except that its decision shall not be based on legally impermissible grounds. A Professional Employee on probationary status shall have no rights based on length of employment at the College but, during employment, shall be entitled to the same economic benefits that are provided for other Professional Employees.
