Probation & reclassification for general staff


Probation

The probation period for general staff is in usually three months. Exceptions to this will be clearly stated in your letter of offer to which you should refer if in doubt.

 

Reclassification

Monash University general staff are classified in accordance with the 10 level HEW structure, according to the position's functions and responsibilities.

The position description reflects the duties and responsibilities of the position not the performance or ability of the incumbent occupying the position.

It's important to note that a staff member would be eligible to apply to the Faculty for position reclassification only if the duties and responsibilities of the position have significantly changed.

For information on the classification and re-classification process for positions held by general staff see the Classifications Manual on the staff services web site. This document includes information on:

  • Evaluating and classifying positions - currently occupied
  • Evaluating and classifying positions - new or vacant
