How will I be evaluated by my chair?

What are the effective dates of the 9-month academic year calendar?

Will benefits be affected by a conversion from 12- to 9-month?

Is there a need to terminate the 9-month appointment every spring and rehire the employee since the 9- month calendar year is from August to May?

No, the 9-month appointment will not be terminated, as this will affect benefits and retirement. The only time to end the appointment would be when the employee is leaving UF (resigning, non-renewal or retiring). Each spring (around mid -April), 9- and 10-month employees will be placed on a short work break action which is done by the short work break process with Enterprise Systems and UF/Human Resources. The process is reviewed by UF/ Human Resources along with IFAS/HR to ensure that the appropriate 9- and 10-month employees are put on short work break in job data.
