The Employment Status Notice will be distributed directly to the employee in electronic or hard-copy format. The Employment Status Notice shall indicate
    1. the basic monthly salary of the employee for the academic year, including the salary increase components;
    2. the employee’s status (e.g., probationary, including PY, tenured, terminal);
    3. the employee’s rank or position title, if applicable;
    4. that the employee’s appointment is subject to the availability of funds, to the laws of the State of Illinois, and the Policies and Regulations of the Board of Trustees and the University, including the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement.
  3. Any modifications in the employee’s salary will be reflected in a revised Employment Status Notice, which will be issued as soon as possible.
