[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know offhand the probationary period for FDA - a lawyer in Regulatory Policy specifically CDER? And what are they doing if the lawyer went out on leave during that first year - i.e. sick leave/annual leave for maternity, followed by FMLA for the child? I mean not that anyone knows for sure what they'll too but I guess I'm asking does mat leave/FMLA affect the probationary time at all?[/quote]
We’re in a different part of HHS and our boss has said that for the excepted service, which includes lawyers, the probationary period is 2 years.

I don’t know whether there are any special rules re counting maternity leave or FMLA for purposes of the probationary period.  But I have researched this and spoke to HR about how leave without pay affects the computation of your years of service for pension calculations.  The answer there is that you can take up to 6 months in any calendar year without it affecting the calculation.  Annual leave and sick leave count the same as being in the office for the years of service number. [/quote]

Probationary periods are spelled out at the outset.
Being on leave should count. [/quote]
