Are new employees who are currently AAR board approved required to have a probationary period?
As part of the new employee’s training, the organization should evaluate a new employee’s skills and training to determine the employee’s level of competence and compliance with the organization’s QA program requirements. This is normally accomplished during a probationary period. The length of probation is strictly determined by the analyst’s ability to conform to method and QA program requirements. Documentation of the new employee probationary period is required to maintain AAR board approval.
