Guidelines for Changes in Terms and Conditions of Employment
Talent Acquisition (TA) must review and approve changes in employees' terms or conditions of employment except for normal merit salary increases and terminations. The following must be reviewed: changes between regular and temporary status; changes in percent time; and, title changes. A letter should be sent through appropriate channels to TA justifying the change. Talent Acquisition will indicate approval by signing the letter and returning a copy of the original to the unit requesting the change.
- Part-time to Full-time or Vice Versa.
Every effort will be made to accommodate an employee request for a temporary or permanent change of status from part-time to full-time, or vice-versa; however, the University is not obligated to change an employee's status, particularly if it causes hardship to a program. An employee in regular status will not be required to change their status, unless financial exigency is in effect. A term employee may be required to change their status, reflecting the need for their services, as a condition of employment.
The Vice President of Human Resources and the director of Talent Acquisition will provide a joint response to the administrator making the request. If the request is approved, the Vice President of Human Resources will abolish the USS position. The administrator will need to contact the Budget Office to arrange for the transfer of tenths and funding for the position. Unclassified professionals are guaranteed a year's notice of non-reappointment after two years of service (see University Handbook Appendix A). The two years of service required for this notice may be waived in instances where the person has served at least two years in the USS position.
