NSF appointed for the entire academic year will be paid on a 1/12th basis. The pay
period dates are July 1 through the following June 30. This pay period is to be used
regardless of the percent time of the appointment or the date the appointment is
made. For appointments made prior to July 1, paychecks commence August 1 and
end the following July 1. For appointments made on or after July 1, paychecks will
commence on the nearest paycheck release date and end the following July 1. NSF
will not be eligible for benefits prior to their enrollment in benefits programs for which
they are eligible and will not contribute for months of ineligibility.
NSF appointed for a full year at some percentage of time in each quarter/semester
will be considered to be on a variable time appointment for benefits purposes. The
percentage of appointment for benefits purposes for variable time appointments will
be determined by averaging the appointment percentage for each quarter/semester
for the year. The provisions of this Section do not modify or alter the provision of
Article 11 - Benefits.
