The new bridging policy is in effect July 1, 1998. Temporary positions are not counted when determining whether two years of service has been completed. The ability to submit claims is covered by the summary plan description.
Prior service counts for eligibility for vacation.
The Retirement Plan for faculty and staff is governed by the Vanderbilt University Retirement plan. The summary plan description will be provided upon request through Human Resources or may be found on the Web site. Service award anniversary eligibility is determined by the hire date in effect during the previous consecutive service. Human Resource Services will screen the work history of new hires or work-status change dates to determine periods of previous service and will adjust hire dates and service award longevity according to this policy. The rate of pay for any person is determined by the applicable salary administration guidelines.
