Common use of PERCENTAGE OF APPOINTMENT Clause in Contracts

PERCENTAGE OF APPOINTMENT. An employee who works an average of ten (10) percentage points or more beyond his/her appointed percentage time or a supplemental employee who works regular, predictable, scheduled hours, for three (3) or more consecutive payroll periods shall have the right to have his/her appointment percentage and employment status as defined in Article 6 reviewed by the supervisor. The Employer will not be required to raise the percentage time worked or change employment status if there is clear evidence that the employee will not be working beyond his/her previous appointment percentage time on a regular basis in the future. If there is clear evidence that the employee will continue working beyond his/her current percentage appointment, or continue working regular, predictable, scheduled hours, the appointment percentage will be raised to the average percent time worked or to the employment status reflected in the three (3) previous payroll periods. If at any time after the subsequent three (3) payroll periods the supervisor determines that the employee will not continue working beyond his/her previous appointment percentage time or continue working regular, predictable, scheduled hours on a regular basis in the future, the supervisor may reduce the appointment to the percentage time assigned prior to the employee's request, or return the employee to supplemental status with five (5) days prior notice given to the employee. If the employee has served six (6) or more consecutive months in the higher percentage appointment, the layoff and bumping provisions of this agreement shall apply unless the employee is working to cover another employee's paid or non-paid leave. In such a case, the layoff and bumping provisions shall not apply unless the employee has served nine (9) or more consecutive months in the higher percentage appointment. Any appointment percentage time adjustment made under the provisions of this Section shall be effective on the first pay period after the adjustment request is received by the Employer or the notice is received by the employee. Changes in the percentage time of an appointment may affect an employee's eligibility for fringe benefits. University fringe benefit rules and regulations will apply. Nothing in this section prohibits a Department's right to review and modify the percentage time of appointments.
