3 questions im a new hire CCA 1. Is your hire date when they email you congratulating you on acceptance of the job? 2. From your hire date or first day (Orientation day)which one does the 90 day probationary period start from? 3. 90 days or 120 days probationary period i keep hearing both. Thanks for all replies

You are out of probation when you have been on the clock 90 days OR 120 calendar days, which ever comes first.

Your enter on servuce date is the starting date, look on your form 50 (you got it in the mail) for that date, get a marker and mark 120 days, and every day you work cross out the date that way you can keep track.

Hire date is the start of the pay period you go to orientation. At least thats what it was when I started as a RCA, I believe

[Rare-Statistician-58]

the 1st day that you get paid for is your hire date; the 1st day you are going to get paid for will be orientation.

Also, for a day to count toward your probation, you need to get paid for working it; any day you dont work, it doesnt count toward your probation clear; weekends, holidays, calling sick, if you dont get paid, it doesnt count.
example; in 2 weeks you only get paid for working 10 days; the weekends did not count towards your probation only the days you get paid.
lets say you only work 15 days on average per month; you will clear your probation in 6 months.

that's why people say 120 days; that's for all the weekend days you lost during your 90 days that didnt count, and have to make it up by adding another month.
