37    employment.  (Added Language) If hired into a regular position, temporary employees (Veteran
38    Fellows, Interns, Emergency Hires) are subject to a probationary period starting at the time of hire
39    into the regular position.

*Hourly rates are calculated by (1) increasing the 2021 hourly midpoint for each grade by 3.5%, 
rounded to the nearest whole cent, to determine the new (2022) hourly midpoint, (2) multiplying
the newly calculated midpoint by .8, rounded to the nearest whole cent, to determine the 2022
range minimum, (3) multiplying the newly calculated midpoint by 1.2, rounded to the nearest
whole cent to determine the 2022 hourly maximum. These are the range minimum, midpoint,
and maximum that are entered into HCM. 
** Annual rates are illustrative and may vary slightly from amounts calculated with Excel or a
calculator.

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
