The introductory period is intended to give new employees the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to
achieve a satisfactory level of performance and to determine whether the new position meets their
expectations.
Fortune International Group uses this period to evaluate employee capabilities, work habits, and overall performance. Either the employee or Fortune International Group may end the employment relationship at will at any time during or after the introductory period, with or without cause or advance notice. All new and rehired employees work on an introductory basis for the first 90 calendar days after their date of hire. Any significant absence will automatically extend an introductory period by the length of the absence.
If Fortune International Group determines that the designated introductory period does not allow
sufficient time to thoroughly evaluate the employee’s performance, the introductory period may be extended for a specified period. Upon satisfactory completion of the introductory period, employees enter the “regular” employment classification.
During the introductory period, new employees are eligible for those benefits that are required by law, such as workers’ compensation insurance and Social Security. After becoming regular employees, they may also be eligible for other Fortune International Group provided benefits, subject to the terms and conditions of each benefits program. Employees should read the information for each specific benefits program for the details on eligibility requirements.
