What is a rolling-horizon or indefinite appointment, and how can I get one?
The two appointments confer greater job security than other appointments for academic staff. Indefinite appointments confer greater job security than rolling horizon appointments. Fixed-term appointments can be terminal, renewable, and rolling-horizon. A rolling horizon is extended daily for a term specified term in the appointment letter, most often 1-, 2-, or 3-year rolling horizons. Thus, a 1-year RH confers a notice period of 1 year from any date a nonrenewal notice is issued. For layoffs, the notice period can be anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on whether layoff results from a funding loss or a budget or program decision. Indefinite appointments are permanent and have an unlimited term of employment. These appointments are granted to outstanding academic staff and are granted only if the dean can guarantee long-term funding for the position. Layoff notice for this type is 24 months in advance of termination, except in the case of a financial emergency declared by the Board
