ARTICLE 6
A.
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.
B.
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.
