Relationship of Exempt Employee to College
Policy: 8.1 Provisional Letters of Employment/Non-Contract Employment/Contracts
Adoption Date: January 27, 2016 Revised
PROVISIONAL LETTER OF EMPLOYMENT
New full-time exempt staff in the district will receive a Provisional Letter of Employment. Exempt staff must be employed full-time for a complete academic year with the HCJCD before being eligible for a contract. The letter of employment and a copy of the employee’s job description must be signed and returned to the President no later than fourteen days from the date of issue to be valid.
NON‑CONTRACT EMPLOYMENT
Employees who are not employed under the terms of a written employment contract have no property right and may be dismissed at will.
CONTRACTS
An appointment is effective only for the term stated in the contract of employment and no property right is created beyond the term stated in the contract. The issuance of official contracts follows the approval of members of the administration by the Board of Trustees. Contracts may be delayed pending the passage of an appropriations bill by the State Legislature or adoption of a college budget. However, all contracts and a copy of the employee’s job description must be signed and returned to the President no later than fourteen days from the date of issue to be valid. The offer of a contract of employment may be withdrawn by the Board at any time before it is signed and delivered to the Office of the President.
An employee may be reassigned at any time if deemed necessary by the college administration and Board of Trustees.
Employees will be compensated for additional assignments pursuant to the college compensation plan.
OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT
Full‑time members of the faculty and staff are asked to inform their respective supervisor and cabinet member of any outside employment planned during the term of the individual contract or letter on an annual basis. This outside employment cannot interfere with job duties at Howard College.
