Employees working the nine, ten or eleven months that parallel the academic semesters in a manner similar to a teaching faculty appointment. This policy applies primarily to classified staff. A nine, ten or eleven month appointment may be requested by an employee or by a supervisor. The employee's request should be addressed to the immediate supervisor in writing and include the reasons why they believe the nine, ten or eleven month appointment will work. A supervisor also may request that staff work a nine, ten or eleven month appointment but should consider the employee's personal adjustments necessary to work such a schedule.
Supervisors have independent discretion to approve a nine, ten or eleven month appointment.
Employees should be advised of the reasons why a nine, ten or eleven month request was denied. A copy of the approved recommendation for a nine, ten or eleven month appointment should be sent to the Department of Human Resources to effect the change. Employees will be placed on a nine, ten or eleven month appointment to be effective as directed in the approved recommendation. Employee contributions must be paid in advance to the Payroll Office. Retirement contributions will be temporarily suspended until the employee returns to active status.
