Appointment Length Field

Quick Access Page Sections:

The Appointment Length field value (0-12) represents the number of months per year the employee will be working in this assignment.

For Merit or P&S Temporary positions, if you are extending an appointment, view the current Appointment Length and ADD the additional months to this number (cannot exceed 12 months per year). For example, if the employee has been working in a temporary position for two (2) months, without break in service, and is being extended for six (6) more months, their new Appointment Length is eight (8) months. Please note, in this example, this employee would now be eligible for additional benefits if they were working half-time or more.
