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. Part-time regular and recurring bargaining unit members may work hours beyond the base hours of their position without the posting of an information notice for a period not to exceed thirty (30) working days. Contracted appointments are not substitutes for, or alternatives to, regular or recurring appointments. Should more than one qualified employee indicate an interest in the same contracted opportunity, selection will be by seniority, subject to Article 19. They 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 (e.g. temporary upgrading); 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).
