PART-TIME TENURE Clause Samples
The Part-Time Tenure clause establishes the terms under which an employee may hold a tenured position while working less than a full-time schedule. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility requirements, the process for requesting part-time status, and how benefits, responsibilities, and tenure rights are adjusted proportionally to the reduced workload. Its core function is to provide flexibility for tenured employees who need or wish to reduce their working hours, while ensuring that both the institution and the employee have clear expectations regarding job security and obligations.
PART-TIME TENURE. The parties expressly agree that in the event a part-time teaching position is agreed to by a teacher who has tenure and there is no interruption in the teacher's continuous service, such agreement by the tenured teacher shall not cause that teacher to lose tenure. A tenured part-time teacher shall accrue seniority in proportion to the time worked.
