New Employee Orientation

Orientation is a formal welcoming process that is designed to make the new employee feel comfortable, informed about Levine Academy, and prepared for their position. New employee orientation is conducted by the Department of Human Resources and with the employee’s supervisor, and includes an overview of Levine Academy history, an explanation of Levine Academy core values, vision, and mission; and School goals and objectives. In addition, the new employee will be given an overview of benefits and complete any necessary paperwork. Depending on the number of new employees, the Orientation may be either one on one or in a group setting. Employees are presented with all codes, keys, and procedures needed to navigate within the workplace and as authorized by the employee’s direct supervisor. The new employee’s supervisor then introduces the new hire to staff throughout Levine Academy, reviews their job description and scope of position, explains Levine Academy’s evaluation procedures, and helps the new employee get started on specific functions.

Probationary Period for New Employees

The probationary period for regular full-time and regular part-time employees lasts up to 90-days from date of hire. During this time, employees have the opportunity to evaluate our School as a place to work and management has its first opportunity to evaluate the employee. During this introductory period, both the employee and Levine Academy have the right to terminate employment without advance notice. Upon completion of the probationary period, the employee’s supervisor may exercise a 90 -day review; if this step is not exercised, the employee shall continue as a regular employee in good standing, subject to the policies and expectations found in the Employee Handbook or communicated to the employee by his/her supervisor. All employees, regardless of classification or length of service, are expected to meet and maintain School standards for job performance and behavior.
