Provisional and Temporary Appointments Clause Samples

The 'Provisional and Temporary Appointments' clause establishes the terms under which an organization may hire individuals on a non-permanent basis, typically to fill immediate staffing needs or cover for absent employees. This clause outlines the conditions, duration, and limitations of such appointments, often specifying that these roles do not confer the same rights or benefits as permanent positions and may be subject to termination with minimal notice. Its core function is to provide flexibility for the employer to address short-term or unforeseen personnel requirements without committing to long-term employment obligations.
Provisional and Temporary Appointments. (a) An employee may be provisionally appointed from within a department to fill a higher position, or with the agreement of the employee, a lower or equal position, on a temporary basis. Such appointments will be made on the basis of seniority, work performance and qualifications pertinent to the requirements of the position and, other than provisional appointments to replace an employee on leave (excepting maternity leave), will not exceed 3 months unless agreed to by the parties. (Payment of wages for provisional appointments will be made under Articles 25.02 - 25.06 and in all cases will be at the rate of the position). (b) Employees who are provisionally appointed to any position inside or outside the bargaining unit are entitled to return to their former position without loss of seniority or benefits. (c) (i) Regular employees who apply for temporary or time limited grant funded “special” positions for career development purposes may also request (in writing to their own supervisor with a copy to the Associate Vice President of Human Resources) the opportunity to return to their original positions without the loss of the wages, rights or benefits of the original position.
