What term describes employees who have successfully completed their probationary period?

• A. Probationary Employee
• B. Civil Service Employee
• C. Career Service Employee
• D. Temporary Employee

Answer: (C)

Completing probation marks moving into permanent, ongoing employment within the agency’s public service structure. Once someone passes the probationary period, they become a Career Service Employee, indicating they’re no longer in a trial phase and have long-term job status, with standard rights, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. The probationary period is a test of suitability, and passing it shows the employee has met the agency’s performance and conduct expectations for permanent status.

The other terms describe different situations: a probationary employee is still in the trial period; a civil service employee is a broader category that can include various statuses within civil service systems; a temporary employee is hired for a limited duration and does not become permanent after probation.
