Prior to the completion of the probationary contract a decision will be made as to whether or not you will be retained pursuant to section 5A (2) of the Civil Service Regulation Act 1956 as amended. This decision will be based on your performance assessed against the criteria set out in (i) to (iii) above. The detail of the probationary process will be explained to you by the Houses of the Oireachtas Service and you will be given a copy of the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform’s guidelines on probation. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs in this section, the probationary contract may be terminated at any time prior to the expiry of the term of the contract by either side in accordance with the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts, 1973 to 2005. In the following circumstances your contract may be extended and your probation period suspended. • The probationary period stands suspended when an employee is absent due to Maternity or Adoptive Leave. • In relation to an employee absent on Parental Leave or Carers Leave, the employer may require probation to be suspended if the absence is not considered to be consistent with the continuation of the probation, and • Any other statutory provision providing that probation shall – (i) stand suspended during an employee’s absence from work, and (ii) be completed by the employee on the employee’s return from work after such absence. Where probation is suspended the employer should notify the employee of the circumstances relating to the suspension. All appointees will serve a one-year probationary period. 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. In the event of reversion, an officer will return to a vacancy in their former grade in their former Department.
