Appointment, Reappointment and Non-Reappointment Clause Samples
The 'Appointment, Reappointment and Non-Reappointment' clause defines the procedures and criteria for initially appointing an individual to a position, renewing their term, or deciding not to renew their appointment. Typically, this clause outlines the process for evaluating performance, the timeline for making reappointment decisions, and the notification requirements for both the appointee and the appointing authority. Its core function is to provide a clear and consistent framework for managing personnel transitions, ensuring transparency and fairness in employment or service relationships.
