Common use of Non-Reappointment Clause in Contracts

Non-Reappointment. ‌ A probationary appointee has no right to reappointment, and a probationary appointment shall automatically expire at the end of the specified term in the absence of a written reappointment signed by the President. The President may request and review, but shall not be obligated to adhere to, recommendations from the unit, xxxx, and the Xxxxxxx regarding questions of renewal of probationary appointments. In cases of non-reappointment for financial or programmatic considerations the probationary appointee will be so notified in writing. Written notice of non- renewal of a probationary appointment shall be mailed or given by the President or his/her designee at least four (4) months prior to the expiration of the first appointment, seven (7) months prior to the expiration of the second appointment, and twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the third or later appointment. The employer shall make a good faith effort to provide a probationary appointee with the notice period required by this agreement, but failure to do so shall not result in automatic reappointment. The employer shall have the options of (1) providing additional employment of one semester for first-year appointees, two semesters for second-year appointees, and two semesters for appointees of three years or more, or (2) providing severance pay in lieu of any portion of the notice to which the employee is entitled. Severance pay shall be paid at twice the individual's monthly rate, or portion thereof, for the period by which the notice is deficient. The notice provisions of this section shall not be applicable to non-tenurable unit employees paid from grants, contracts, or other sponsors or outside funding sources. The employer will honor the term of such an employee's individual contract for its complete term. However, when funding for such an employee is eliminated or reduced, the employer may reassign the employee appropriate to the employee's professional qualifications as the Administration sees fit for the remainder of the employee's contract term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, summer employees paid from grants, contracts, or other sponsors or outside funding sources are hired subject to the continued availability of funds, and in the event of reduction or elimination of such funds, the employer may terminate such employees prior to the designated terminal date of the individual's summer contract.
