Mark & group,

South Carolina (Clemson) does not have any former federal appointees on 9 month appointments.  I believe that federal employees could not be on 9 month appointments because they would have an annual 3 month break in service, which would have interrupted benefits.  However, Clemson now allows folks with a 9 month appointment to be paid on a 12 month basis, so it would be doable today.  I believe you are correct in that this is a whole new arena.

Subject: Former Federal Appointees on 9-month Appointments

Hello, colleagues,

Greetings from Georgia.  Question:  Do any of you have former federal appointees on 9-month appointments (academic)?  If you remember before federal appointments were discontinued, we were told that those employees could not be on 9-month appointments.  I think we are now operating in a whole new arena. 

Thanks for your input.

Mark
