What is the duration of probation for entry-level classes, unless specified otherwise?

For entry-level classes within the context of the LADWP, the standard duration of probation is six months. This period serves as an essential part of the onboarding process, allowing both the employer and the employee to evaluate job performance, adaptability, and fit within the organization. During these six months, new employees are expected to learn their responsibilities, demonstrate competence in their roles, and adhere to the expectations of their positions.

This probationary period can be a crucial time for growth and assessment, wherein supervisors can provide feedback and support to ensure that the employee is successful in their new role. If the performance is satisfactory, the employee can then move forward with their position, transitioning from a probationary status to a permanent one.
