Employees with probationary status shall not be eligible for promotion, reinstatement following separation, or other rights to positions unless provided for in this chapter, nor have reduction in force, recall, or appeal rights.

A six-month period of probationary status may, at the discretion of the appointing authority and with notice to the employee and the director, be required upon reinstatement, and all rules regarding probationary status shall apply during that period.

The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all executive branch employees, except employees of the board of regents, unless collective bargaining agreements provide otherwise.
