You will only be employed on a term contract in the following situations: To ensure there is visibility of the use of term contracts, a regular monitoring process will be resolved between the parties, including scope to include the City of Newcastle Consultative Committee.

TERM CONTRACTS. ‌ A term contract means a contract providing for employment throughout a semester with a workload of fifty percent or greater of the normal full-time load. A term contract may be for either part-time or full-time employment, will be for a definite term not to exceed one (1) fiscal year, and will terminate automatically at the end of the term. Such contracts are renewable solely at the discretion of the Board. Reasons for the issuance of term contracts may include, but are not limited to, the following: funding by grants or special projects outside the Board's legislative appropriation, temporary replacement of a faculty unit member on educational or other leave of absence, a temporary manpower need created for the interim of a job search, for an unanticipated increased workload, or for a vacancy within a school term where it is more appropriate to fill the position temporarily. If a faculty unit member's contract is changed to a probationary contract, the number of years the faculty unit member has served under term contracts may be credited, at the discretion of the Board, towards fulfillment of the period necessary for consideration for a continuing contract. Term contracts will not be used to avoid the proper application and use of probationary or continuing contracts. Faculty unit members with term contracts will be evaluated at least once per year and informed of any deficiencies. Evaluations and plans to correct deficiencies will be conducted in accordance with Article XI, Evaluation.

TERM CONTRACTS. PURCHASING DEPARTMENT CITY OF LINCOLN/LANCASTER COUNTY, NEBRASKA

TERM CONTRACTS. ‌ A term contract may be either part-time or full-time and will be of a definite term not to exceed one year or overlap two (2) fiscal years, unless the contract is for a spring-summer or a summer- fall appointment or is otherwise approved by the Board. A term contract will terminate automatically at the end of the term, unless the Board expressly renews the contract. Reasonable effort will be made to notify such faculty unit members, more than thirty (30) days prior to the end of their term, that they will have no further term appointment contract. Failure to so notify will not result in the extension of the appointment. As used in this agreement, “consecutive full-time contracts” include any combination of contracts for nine or more months, so long as no more than five months lapse between the end date of one contract and the start date of a subsequent contract. The parties recognize that faculty unit members who have received several consecutive full- time contracts will come subjectively to expect continued employment on the same basis. Under this agreement, in the absence of an award of tenure, such unilateral expectations, however natural they may be, can never become constitutionally protected property interests.

Limited Term Contracts shall be for three (3) years, with the expiration term of the contract rolling forward one (1) year at the end of each year of the three (3) year term.5 A Limited Term Contract may be terminated prior to its expiration, provided that the Faculty Member is given at least four (4) months’ notice, and all other temporary contracts of shorter duration in the individual’s Program, Division, or Department have been given prior notice of termination. Limited Term Contracts for a period of one (1) year up to three (3) years shall be offered to Lecturers who have taught for at least eight (8) semesters over a seven (7) year period in the same unit.

TERM CONTRACTS. (i) Council may employ a person on a term contract in an ongoing position that is evaluated as Professional/Specialist Band 3, Level 4 or the Executive Band 4 of the agreement only where: (a) Council and the employee agree, and (b) where the contract includes a clause that a further term contract for the position shall be offered to the employee if the employee’s performance remains at a satisfactory level during the term of the contract and the position continues to exist at the end of the term of the contract, and (c) the term of the contract is a minimum of three years and a maximum of five years. (ii) This clause only regulates the use of term contracts for ongoing positions. (iii) Term contracts shall not be offered for on-going positions below Band 3 Level 4 of the (iv) Subclause (i) shall only apply to term contracts entered into after the first pay period on or after 1 November 2004.
