Types of Appointments A. Regular Appointments for positions scheduled to work twelve (12) months per year. B. Cyclic Appointments for positions scheduled to work less than twelve (12) full months each year due to known, recurring periods in the annual cycle when the position is not needed or due to known budgetary restraints. (1) At least fifteen (15) calendar days before the start of each annual cycle, incumbents of cyclic positions will be informed in writing of their scheduled periods of leave without pay in the ensuing annual cycle. Such leave without pay will not: (a) Constitute a break in service and will not be deducted from the employee’s length of service in granting periodic increments. (b) Be considered when computing the employee’s vacation leave accrual rate. (2) When additional work is required of a cyclic position during a period of which the position was scheduled for leave without pay, the temporary work will first be offered to the incumbent. The incumbent will be allowed at least three (3) working days in which to accept or decline the offer. (3) When additional pre-scheduled work is available during the leave without pay period that is declined or cannot be completed by the incumbents, the work will be offered to Cyclic Appointment employees prior to internal employees, students, or external candidates. The work will be offered in the following order, based on seniority: (a) Cyclic Appointments in the same job classification. (b) Cyclic Appointment in different job classifications with the desired skills and abilities to perform the work. (4) Employees who elect to accept work in a different job classification will be compensated at the rate of pay of the position they have accepted. However, if an employee accepts work in a lower classification and their current rate of compensation falls within the pay range for that classification, they will maintain their current rate of pay within the lower classification. (5) Both the Employer and the Union are encouraged to utilize the Joint Union Management Committee process to resolve problems/concerns related to the cyclic leave without pay assignments. C. Temporary Appointments Temporary appointment may be made only to (a) perform work in the absence of an employee on leave for more than six (6) consecutive months or (b) perform work which does not exceed one thousand fifty (1050) hours in any twelve (12) consecutive month period.
