Appointments shall be made through official written notification by the President. No employee shall be deemed to be appointed in the absence of such official written notification from the President.

Temporary and Limited Hourly appointments shall also specify the expiration date of the appointment. Temporary and Limited Hourly appointments may provide for separation of the employee prior to the expiration date of the appointment and shall specify that any employment in temporary and/or Limited Hourly status may be credited as a period of probationary service as defined in Article 11 of this Agreement. Such a separation shall not be subject to Article 30, Layoff, or Article 9, Grievance Procedure. No employee shall be deemed to be appointed in the absence of such official written notification from the President. 10.6 Limited Hourly appointments are intended to be utilized for hourly part-time or full-time work that is intermittent, sporadic, or periodic in nature. Employees in a Limited Hourly status will normally have different schedules within the same appointment. Utilization of Limited Hourly appointments for full-time work may not exceed nine hundred sixty (960) hours in a fiscal year. It is not intended that Limited Hourly employees replace temporary, probationary, apprentice, or permanent employees. Retired Annuitants may be hired as Limited Hourly employees but are not eligible for sick leave, vacation, or holiday pay. 10.7 New employees are assigned no less than the Minimum Rate on the salary range established for the classification. 10.8 An employee appointed to a position at another campus without a break in service shall transfer his/her accumulated sick leave and retirement credit. The appointing campus and the employee may mutually agree to allow the employee to retain all or part of his/her accrued vacation up to a maximum of eighty (80) hours. Any vacation accrued but not used or transferred shall be paid. Temporary Employee Eligibility List 10.9 Temporary employees who are appointed in the same classification for two (2) consecutive years and are not reappointed for reasons other than unsatisfactory performance and/or unsatisfactory conduct may request to be placed on an eligibility list for future temporary appointments in the same classification as the employee held for the two (2) consecutive years.
1. The employee must submit a written request to the designated person on campus to be considered for future temporary appointments in the same classification as the employee served for two (2) consecutive years. Such request must include current, accurate contact information. 2. The employee’s name will remain on the list for three (3) years, provided the employee submits to the designated person on campus an updated request for future consideration for reappointment by July 1 of each year in which the employee is eligible to be on the list. Failure to submit this written notice with current, accurate contact information will result in removal from this list. 3. If someone on the list is contacted by the University, offered a temporary position, and turns down two (2) assignments of sixty (60) days or more, he/she shall be removed from the list. If three (3) offers of temporary positions of less than sixty (60) days are turned down, the person’s name shall be removed from the Reappointment Eligibility List.
1. When the campus has a temporary position available, prior to advertising the position the appropriate manager on the campus will check the Reappointment Eligibility List to determine if anyone is on the list at the campus with reappointment rights in the classification to be filled. 2. Prior to posting a temporary position pursuant to provision 10.1, the campus shall offer the temporary position to each person on the Reappointment Eligibility List in the classification to be filled until the position is filled or everyone has turned down the appointment, whichever occurs first. 3. It is understood and agreed that temporary employees do not have seniority. However, temporary employees eligible for the Reappointment Eligibility List will be put on the Reappointment Eligibility List in order from the most number of seniority points accrued, not earned, pursuant to provision 30.11. Employees on the Reappointment Eligibility List in the appropriate classification will be called beginning with the employee with the most accrued seniority points. If there is more than one person on the Reappointment Eligibility List for the classification to be filled with the same number of seniority points, the tie shall be broken by: the University after considering the following factors: a. specialized skills and competencies of the employee; and b. meritorious service by the employee as documented in the personnel file. 4. The President may appoint outside applicants when he/she determines such action is necessary to meet the best interest of the campus by obtaining specialized skills and abilities not available from those on the Reemployment Eligibility List. Interview Panel 10.10 An interview panel will be utilized when appointing an employee to a permanent position and may be used for temporary and apprentice appointments at the University’s discretion. When an interview panel is utilized and the Union recommends one (1) unit member from the occupational group being recruited to serve on the panel; such unit member shall serve on the panel. The campus may appoint an additional unit member or members to the interview panel as well as management representative(s). If a member of the occupational group being recruited is not available on the campus and the Union appoints a member from another campus, release time will be reimbursable and the Union will be responsible for any costs related to the member’s participation on the interview panel. Release time must be requested and processed in accordance with provision 7.14 a, but the employee does not have to be a Union officer. SETC recommendations are expected to be timely. If SETC appointees are not available in a timely manner, the interview process will not be delayed. Reports 10.11 The CSU will provide to the Union a system-wide quarterly report of all Limited Hourly and temporary appointments in the bargaining unit on the date of the report. The list shall include the name, classification, hire date, funding source, and campus of each employee. This report shall be prepared effective February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 of each year. Attaining Permanency 10.12 The President shall grant permanent status to a temporary employee subject to the following conditions:
a. The temporary employee shall have served in a Bargaining Unit Classification or in classifications in the same Defined Occupational Series Grouping (Appendix B) at the campus for at least three (3) consecutive years immediately prior to the granting of permanency. |
