Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3344 - Cleveland State University › Chapter 3344-61 - Appointment and Conditions of Employment › Section 3344-61-02 - Appointment and conditions of employment

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Appointment.
Appointments shall be made in
				accordance with the affirmative action plan of the university as approved by
				the board of trustees.
(B)
								Procedures for
			 appointment.
The unit in conjunction with human
				resources compensation, develops a job description detailing the duties,
				responsibilities and minimal requirements and qualifications necessary to
				perform the functions of the position. Human resources compensation analyzes
				the description and assigns a salary grade to the position. Following this
				process, the unit obtains presidential or designee approval, and authorizes
				university administrator approval to initiate the appointment.
(C)
								Letter
			 of appointment terms.
Only the president, or an authorized
				university administrator or designee, may provide a staff member with a letter
				of appointment, which stipulates the term of appointment, title, salary grade
				and salary. Professional staff members are considered employees at will,
				subject to the provisions of these policies. Professional staff members shall
				receive subsequent notice of salary adjustments, as appropriate.
(D)
								Professional staff regular and temporary appointment.
There are two categories of
				appointment: regular or temporary.
(1)
									Regular
			 Appointment. Regular appointments are identified as regular base-funded or
			 regular funds-available.
(2)
									Regular base-funded. Regular base-funded are
			 appointments to positions that are funded by instruction and general, general
			 fee or auxiliary funds. The individual occupying the position is designated as
			 full-time or part-time.
(3)
									Corresponding employment appointments may be renewed
			 annually.
(4)
									Regular funds-available. Regular funds-available are
			 appointments to positions that are not funded by instruction and general,
			 general fee, or auxiliary funds. The position is not assumed to be continuing;
			 continuation is contingent upon funds availability. Consequently, employment
			 letters indicate specific starting and ending dates. The individual occupying
			 the position is designated as full-time or part-time.
(5)
									The provisions of
			 paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(5) of rule
			 3344-61-07
			 of the Administrative Code do not apply to staff members hired into regular
			 funds available positions. The appointments of regular funds available
			 employees may be ended without prior notice. Letters of appointment for regular
			 funds-available appointments shall include a statement of these
			 facts.
(6)
									Temporary appointment. Individuals hired for a specific
			 project or hired for a similar task on an intermittent basis over an extended
			 period of time (duties that occur sporadically) are categorized as temporary.
			 Employment is contingent upon project need, intermittent workload peaks and
			 funding availability; consequently there is no expectation of continued
			 employment. Letters of appointment shall be either annual, as needed hourly or
			 salaried and shall indicate specific starting and ending dates that are tied to
			 a specific project. Although the time period may not extend beyond one year,
			 the assistant vice president of human resources or designee may grant time
			 extensions, if the extension relates directly to the original project, subject
			 to the renewal of waiver of posting.
(7)
									The provisions of
			 paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(5) of rule
			 3344-61-07
			 of the Administrative Code do not apply to temporary professional staff
			 members. These appointments may be ended without prior notice. Letters of
			 appointment for temporary positions shall include a statement of these
			 facts.
(8)
									Introductory period. Newly hired professional staff
			 members shall serve an introductory period of six months. Staff members
			 promoted or transferred from a bargaining unit or classified position are also
			 subject to this introductory period. This period is designed to permit the
			 staff member's supervisor to ascertain the staff member's skills and potential.
			 The introductory period may be extended for an additional ninety days as
			 requested by the supervisor and approved by the assistant vice president of
			 human resources or designee. The employment of staff members who do not
			 satisfactorily complete an introductory period may be terminated pursuant to
			 rule
			 3344-61-07
			 of the Administrative Code.
