Emergency hires will apply to all faculty positions addressed within the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. An emergency hire will take place in cases of unexpected illness, to cover unanticipated scheduling needs, or at such time a faculty member requests leave under Article 18 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The circumstances for an emergency hire will be determined by the administration, APSCUF-KU, and relevant departments on an individual, case-by-case basis.

Contracts for emergency hires will be issued for a fixed period of employment by the President and approved by APSCUF, for a period of no longer than one year. Any special circumstances pertaining to the nature of the employment will be noted on the contract. The time period and these special circumstances will be defined in the contract between the institution and the employee.
