Common use of Gaining and Maintain Re-Employment Preference Clause in Contracts

Gaining and Maintain Re-Employment Preference. 18.10.1.1 A newly-hired part-time faculty member shall gain re-employment preference after having three satisfactory evaluations. If the new faculty member receives an unsatisfactory evaluation in his/her first three years of service and the District still decides to re-hire the faculty member at that time, the count of satisfactory evaluations will re-start at the time of re-hire. If the new faculty member has a break in service for a year or more and the District decides to re-hire the faculty member, the District will have the option of requiring a re-start on the evaluation count, depending on the nature of the break in service. If the count is restarted, the District shall inform the faculty member. Once a part-time faculty member gains re-employment preference, it shall apply beginning the next scheduling cycle. 18.10.1.2 A part-time faculty member who has gained re-employment preference will forfeit that preference if (i) they have a break in service of two academic years or (ii) they have two consecutive unsatisfactory evaluations. If the District re-hires the faculty member, they will regain re-employment preference upon earning two satisfactory evaluations. 18.10.1.3 In the event that a part-time faculty member with re-employment preference has been working in more than one department, the re- employment preference status does not preclude the faculty member from continuing in both departments, but does not require it either. Re- employment preference status is for the District, not for any specific department.
