If an appointee who fails to satisfy the conditions of probation has been a serving civil servant immediately prior to their appointment from this competition, the issue of reversion will normally arise.

During the period of the probationary contract, an officer’s performance will be subject to review by the appropriate supervisor(s) to determine whether the officer: (i) has performed in a satisfactory manner, (ii) has been satisfactory in general conduct, (iii) is suitable with regard to attendance, and (iv) is suitable from the viewpoint of health with particular regard to sick leave.
