Making Changes to a Contract
Minor modifications in wording may be made to the contract language when it involves such items as variable pay, variable working hours, variable percentages of time, or appendices of performance expectations. NO changes may be made to the Policy sections 1-3 (PPSM and UCSB Local Policies); however, Policy section 4 may be included or excluded at the discretion of the department.Contracts do NOT go through the reclass process. If a department wishes to change duties in a contract position that warrant a higher level classification, they first need to have Compensation review a draft job description for the appropriate level. Upon verification from Compensation, an amendment to the original agreement should be submitted with a newly signed job description attached.
Converting a Contract Appointment to a Career or Limited Appointment
Contract to Career: We DO allow contract appointments to be converted to career status, but only when an open recruitment was conducted at the onset of the contract appointment.Contract to Limited: We DO allow contract appointments to be converted to Limited status immediately upon termination, as there are no recruitment requirements for hiring a Limited Appointment.
