Short-Term Substitution Clause Samples
The Short-Term Substitution clause allows one party to temporarily replace a designated individual or resource with another for a limited period. Typically, this clause applies in service agreements where a key person is unavailable due to illness, vacation, or other short-term absences, and a qualified substitute is provided to maintain continuity of service. Its core function is to ensure that contractual obligations are met without interruption, minimizing disruption and providing flexibility for unforeseen short-term absences.
Short-Term Substitution a. As soon as possible, a faculty member who is unable to teach a class at the established time will notify the department/program supervisor of the need and request qualified members of the department/program to substitute. Such a member may secure a substitute by either:
1) Arranging to exchange classes with another faculty member, provided they are both qualified to teach the exchanged classes; or
2) Finding a qualified faculty member willing to serve as a paid substitute.
b. Any proposed substitution is subject to approval of the program/department supervisor. The College will not be required to pay additional compensation to either faculty member for the exchanged classes. If not covered by an exchange of classes, the department/program supervisor may assign an available faculty member to the substitute teaching. An assigned substitute will be paid pursuant to Article XXI Professional Compensation, in which case the faculty member needing a substitute will be required to use available paid leave benefits to be paid for the missed class. If a substitute is not assigned, the department/program supervisor may authorize cancellation of the class, in which case the faculty member needing a substitute will be required to use available paid leave benefits to be paid for the missed class.
c. As short-term substitute assignments are temporary in nature, substitution hours worked do not count toward a Teaching Faculty member’s maximum workload.
