Waiver
Reminders:
- An individual cannot be hired into back-to-back fixed-term terminal waivers.
- An employee may hold consecutive terminal appointments as long as the duties are different than the previous position's duties and the position was openly recruited for.
- Academic Staff terminal appointments are limited to 2 years. Individuals hired into an academic staff terminal appointment can only be hired for a max of a two-year time period (excluding Rehired Annuitants). See Academic Staff Policies and Procedures - Appointment Types and University Staff Appointment Types.
- Once the two-year time period has been completed, here are some options:
- Recruitment
- Convert to Renewable: If the individual is originally hired into a terminal role through an open recruitment or using a waiver reason that could have been renewable initially ('25% or less', 'Training Completed', etc.) you can convert the position to a renewable appointment following the Lifecycle Transactions: SMPH HR Academic Staff/University Staff Conversion to Renewable/Ongoing Workflow. Reminder: if 25% or less waiver reason was used, their appointment must remain at 25% time or less in order to be compliant with how they were hired/the waiver reason used.
- Once the two-year time period has been completed, here are some options:
- Instructional Academic Staff terminal appointments (Clinical Instructors - Moonlighters or Instructor CHS) are limited to 3 years. See Academic Staff Policies and Procedures - Appointment Types.
- Clinical Instructors hired using a '2 years or less' waiver reason can only be hired for a max of a two-year time period per the waiver reason.
- Clinical Instructors hired into a terminal appointment with an end date using a '25% or less' (a renewable appointment type) wavier reason cannot extend past 3 years. If you know the appointment will not go above 25% FTE, it may be best to use the '25% or less' waiver reason and have the ability to renew the terminal appointment for up to three years.
- Note: OHR may advise you that you can convert a terminal Clinical Instructor or Instructor (CHS) position to renewable, however, at SMPH, that is not how we utilize these titles. We utilize these titles only as terminal positions for short term coverage and for our non-accredited fellow hires, so they should not exceed three years. If a department would like to employ someone for greater than three years to do clinical work, they should hire into a true faculty title (Assistant, Associate or Professor rank on one of our faculty tracks).
- If Research Professor or Teaching Professor track
- Review RP and TP Tracks - Position Requests & Hire Processes (i.e. a dossier must be created and reviewed/approved through the RP or TP track committee prior to finalizing the hire or sending the offer letter to the candidate)
- FLSA - Madison will continue to utilize $43,888 as the salary threshold for FLSA exemption status
