HIRE DATES Clause Samples
The HIRE DATES clause defines the specific dates on which an employee’s employment begins and, if applicable, ends. It typically specifies the official start date for the employee and may also include provisions for probationary periods or anticipated end dates for fixed-term contracts. By clearly establishing these key dates, the clause ensures both parties have a mutual understanding of when employment obligations commence and, if relevant, conclude, thereby preventing disputes over employment status and entitlements.
HIRE DATES. 8.10.1 For tenure-track contract faculty hired at the beginning of a semester, the date of hire for seniority purposes shall be the first PD Day or the first day of the semester whichever comes first. For tenure-track contract faculty hired off-cycle (i.e. not at the start of a semester) the date of hire shall be the first date the faculty member rendered paid service.
8.10.2 If the new tenure-track contract faculty member was formerly an adjunct faculty member, he or she shall receive a new date of hire in accordance with section 8.10.1 above.
8.10.3 If the new tenure-track contract faculty member was a temporary faculty member in the previous academic year (immediately prior to becoming a tenure-track contract faculty member) for at least 75 percent of the academic year the date of hire shall be the first PD Day or the first day of the semester of the previous academic year whichever came first.
8.10.4 Education Code section 87470 permits the governing board of a community college district to employ academic employees, in programs and projects to perform services conducted under contract with public or private agencies, or other categorically funded projects of indeterminate duration. This service shall be included towards classification as a tenured or tenure-track contract faculty in accordance with 8.10.4.3 if both 8.10.4.1 and 8.10.4.2 occur:
8.10.4.1 The person has served as a faculty member pursuant to this section for at least 75 percent of the academic year.
8.10.4.2 The person is subsequently employed as a tenured or tenure-track contract faculty in a faculty position.
8.10.4.3 Where a faculty member qualifies under both 8.10.4.1 and 8.10.4.2 above, and has worked at least 75 percent of the academic year for one or more previous academic year(s), the date of hire as a tenured or tenure-track contract faculty shall be the date of hire of the first academic year where the faculty member worked at least 75 percent of the academic year. This adjustment in hire date shall only apply to consecutive academic years of qualifying service immediately prior to employment as a tenured or tenure-track contract faculty of the District. Any year where the faculty member worked less than 75 percent of the academic year and any year prior to that year does not qualify towards seniority.
