Sessional Appointments Clause Samples
The Sessional Appointments clause defines the terms under which individuals are engaged for specific, limited periods or sessions rather than as permanent or ongoing employees. Typically, this clause outlines the duration of each session, the scope of work, compensation arrangements, and any conditions for renewal or termination of the appointment. By clearly specifying these parameters, the clause ensures both parties understand the temporary and flexible nature of the engagement, thereby reducing misunderstandings and providing a framework for managing short-term staffing needs.
