Pursuant to our conversation, this letter serves to confirm that your employment appointment with the
School/College will terminate at the close of business on June 30, 2009
. As we had indicated to you, the
funding/grant
ends on June 30, 2009 and, unfortunately, we cannot continue your appointment.
Our records indicate that you have priority rights in accordance with Article 10A, Employment Rights of
the Bargaining Unit 08, collective bargaining agreement. During the 90 day period (April 1, 2009 to June
30, 2009), preceding the cited date of termination, you are entitled to Priority 1 consideration. Priority 1
consideration provides you with preference to vacant APT bargaining unit positions for which you apply
if you meet the minimum qualification requirements of the position in the same or lower pay band as the
position from which you are being terminated.
Following the termination of your employment (close of business June 30, 2009
), you will be entitled to
Priority 2 consideration for 18 months (July 1, 2009 through January 31, 2011
) following your
termination in accordance with Article 10A of the BU 08 collective bargaining agreement. Priority 2
consideration provides you with preference to vacant positions (so long as there are no applicants in the
Priority 1 category) for which you apply if you meet the minimum qualifications requirements of the
position in the same or lower pay band as the position from which you were terminated. It is important to
note that for the Priority 2 category, should you decline an offer of reemployment in a position for which
you apply and qualify, you forfeit any further reemployment rights as provided under Article 10A of the
BU 08 collective bargaining agreement.
Please be advised that all university vacant positions are listed at the Work at UH Website

Finally, it is your responsibility to: a) apply for any vacancy at the same or lower pay band for which you
believe you qualify in order to enjoy the benefits of your priority status, and b) clearly identify on your
application or resume for APT vacancies that you are a Priority applicant. It is critical that you bring to
the attention of the recruiting University agency's attention that you have priority rights in accordance
with the BU 08 collective bargaining agreement.
