Intro
Examples:
- Extend an appointment end date when a specific end date has been entered due to budgetary concerns or Visa end date
- Extend a limited appointment end date. When the position was recruited as limited with the possibility of extension and/or transition to career status - your department is responsible for monitoring hours worked toward career status eligibility (if an Emergency/Short Term Appointment was used to hire the employee, you must obtain written approval from your recruiter in Employment Outreach Services prior to entry)
- Reestablish and extend an appointment that had a predetermined end date which was deleted during the monthly maintenance process
When an employee's appointment is extended or renewed, the assumption is that the previous appointment data will be replicated and no other significant changes in employment conditions will occur. However, when an employee is in an appointment that is being extended, the extended appointment period combined with the existing employment period may provide the employee with additional benefits and entitlements.
Listed below are things to consider when an employee's appointment is extended:
- Eligibility for a leave accrual code change that will allow accrual of both vacation and sick leave; see PPS/Leave Accrual and Time Reporting Codes;
- Changes in eligibility for health and welfare plans and Retirement Plan membership; see BELI Codes webpage
All fields that should be considered for data entry are listed. Many of the fields were fully defined in the New Hire bundle. Comments pertaining specifically to renewal of appointment are included below. Always review existing appointment(s) and distribution(s) and update the data as necessary. Add new appointments and distributions as necessary to complete the transaction.
