Eligibility for Rehire

Policy Statement

Supervisors are responsible for determining whether a staff member is eligible for rehire each time the staff member terminates employment, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and if any conditions exist that would affect the rehire eligibility process. Staff who leave Duke in good standing (break in service from a regular position due to resignation, layoff or, in some cases, discharge) and later want to return are eligible for consideration for rehire. Previous staff who are rehired will not be given credit for prior service for purposes of continuous service date, paid time off (including PTO, vacation, and sick leave) or eligibility and other pertinent benefits - unless they have left Duke in the last 12 months through layoff status or research staff on active payroll.
