**Note:** alumni have a different process, including IACC approval.

The effective date is in the Wrike fields and tasks. \ Do not go back to the form you submitted originally, the appointment paperwork that was submitted, or the contract. The dates may be different (very likely).

**Note on duration:**\ Due to the CBA, shorter reappointments are only allowed under certain conditions (see below). Often times post docs request an extension for a few months until they find a job or start their new job. This is no longer allowed with the CBA. The PI has 3 choices: - The short reappointment falls under one of the allowable conditions - The short reappointment does not fall under one of the allowable conditions, and they can decline the request to extend. - The short we appointment does not fall under one of the allowable conditions, and their process a one year reappointment. **Note on vacation:**\ If the PD leaves early, they are eligible for the full vacation time allocation (even if they leave shortly after the reappointment effective date): - Short reappointment = 1.75 days per months of contract duration. - 1-year reappointment = 21 days of vacation.

**Note:** very important, should be answered correctly for the contract and benefits purposes. In doubt, check with the PI.

You must check with your GM. Even if this is a reappointment, the PTA may have changed over the past few months. The division office does not have access to that information.

If the answer is yes, you will be taken to another page for additional information and documents before you can complete the submission. (See below)
