SUBJECT: Informal Review of the Revised UCSD Implementing Effective January 1, 2001, the University established a new type of temporary staff appointment for - the "Limited" appointment, which replaces the former "Casual" appointment category. A limited appointment is defined as one during which the employee is expected to be on pay status for less than 1,000 hours in a twelve-month period. As communicated to the campus community last fall, the new limited appointment category required revisions to a number of the UC Personnel Policies for Staff Members (UCPPSM). The new limited appointment category impacted some of the conditions of employment in UCSD Implementing Procedures 20/Recruitment. Therefore, the UCSD Recruitment Procedures have been revised. This Notice is provided to announce the informal review of the revised Procedures, and to invite to comments regarding the proposed modifications. In addition some editing of language to enhance clarity, changes in terminology used throughout the Procedures were required in order to comply with the UCPPSM. For example, the term "casual" has been replaced with "limited," when appropriate. Significant changes in the Procedures are as follows:
SECTION II/POLICY
SECTION III/DEFINITION OF TERMS
SECTION IV/RECRUITMENT PROCEDURES
SECTION VI/NON-RECRUITMENT UNDER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES Subsection B.2/Extension of 40 Percent or Less Appointments states that, "Extension of a 40 percent or less appointment must be reviewed and approved by the Human Resources Department Records Unit." Subsection B.3/150 Calendar Days or Less Appointments states that, "These appointments may be established for any percent of time, fixed or variable, with an expected duration of 150 calendar days or less. All positions over 40 percent with appointment periods greater than 150 calendar days must be posted with the Human Resources Department Staffing Units, with the exception of appointments to be filled through the Job Opportunities Program (JOP). Hours on pay status shall not exceed 875 creditable straight time hours towards the 1,000 hours required for conversion from limited to career status."
