Common use of Contracted Clause in Contracts

Contracted. Employment for a definite term or task expected to last normally not more than twelve (12) months except where (a) such employment is to replace an employee on long-term leave of absence, long term disability or Workplace Safety Insurance in which cases the duration of the contract may coincide with the absence, or (b) with the agreement of the Union. Contracted appointments are not substitutes for, or alternatives to, regular or recurring appointments. With the exception of members in the Career Development Program (Article 19) regular or recurring employees will not be considered for contract opportunities. Contract appointments shall normally be made, for example: 1. while a staff member goes on leave; 2. while a staff member takes up an appointment involving changed responsibility; 3. when funds are available from sources which stipulate a contractually limited term of availability (e.g. grants), or which are not part of the department's base staffing budget; 4. while a staff member undertakes a training period in relation to a new position (e.g. promotion, lateral re-assignment).
