Pursuant to Alabama Act 2024-360 and ACCS Policy and Procedure 204.01, any person who is being employed into an executive and administrative management personnel position (whether a new hire or whether a current employee who is being transferred, reorganized, or otherwise moved into such position) on or after July 1, 2024, shall enter into an employment contract with the President. Contractual employees are provided with an Employee Agreement to sign upon hire, transfer, reorganization, or other qualifying position move. The initial term of the Employee Agreement extends from the effective date for a period not to exceed 36 months and shall terminate on May 31 at 11:59 p.m. of the year closest without going over 36 months of employment (“Initial Term”). Once the Initial Term expires, the Employment Agreement will automatically extend for successive one-year periods (the “Renewal Term”), beginning on June 1 at 12:00 a.m. through the following May 31 at 11:59 pm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the President reserves the right to relieve the employee of his or her duties as stipulated in the Employment Contract before the end of any Initial or Renewal Term.
