Is your probation policy doing its job?

A well-written probation policy doesn’t just protect your company—it helps new hires succeed. In West Virginia, where legal protections apply even during probation, clarity is everything.

Your policy should clearly outline:
✅ Performance expectations
✅ What counts as acceptable or unacceptable conduct
✅ The review timeline (e.g., 30, 60, 90 days)
✅ Procedures for extending probation (due to absence, performance issues, etc.)
✅ Support and training available to the employee
✅ Consequences of not meeting expectations

When these details are defined up front, you avoid confusion, reduce risk, and give your team a stronger foundation.

Why? Because new units can cost $500K to $2M, and funding is limited. The result? Slower response times and higher insurance costs for the community.
