Lancaster to rename 'probationary period' to 'introductory period' in personnel policy; staff to add employee sign‑off form
Summary
The Select Board asked Town Manager Jessica Cyr to change personnel policy language replacing 'probationary period' with 'introductory period' and requested that Cyr produce a sign‑off form employees will sign to confirm receipt and understanding of the policy.
Town Manager Jessica Cyr reviewed edits to the personnel policy that reflect the board's earlier recommendations. The Select Board directed that any reference to a "probationary period" be changed to an "introductory period," and Cyr said she will prepare a sign‑off form that employees will sign to acknowledge receipt and understanding of the policy.
The minutes record the board's requested wording change and the action for staff to create a receipt form; no formal adoption vote is recorded. The change is procedural language intended to clarify the employee onboarding period and the administration plans to implement a written acknowledgment form.
