Common use of Fixed Term Clause in Contracts

Fixed Term. A fixed-term appointment is an appointment for a limited period of time. A fixed-term appointment terminates at the end of the appointment period and does not imply that any future employment will be offered. (a) Fixed-term appointments may be used to fill vacancies created by leaves of absence, to fill positions when the President determines that normal recruitment and selection procedures cannot be implemented due to time constraints (an emergency fill), to meet peak work demands, to fill positions that involve head or assistant coaching responsibilities, to fill positions during departmental or university restructuring, to fill positions that may be eliminated in the near future, or for special projects. For all fixed-term positions, the Employer will communicate to the Association in writing the basis for the fixed-term position prior to or, at a minimum, contemporaneously with the fixed-term appointment. (b) Normally, a fixed-term appointment shall not exceed twelve (12) months in duration. However, the President may extend such an appointment to a maximum of twelve (12) additional months when such action is deemed to be in the best interest of the university. Fixed-term appointments involving head or assistant coaching responsibilities shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. (c) Fixed-term appointments may be extended for up to an additional twelve
