"By Agreement" rates of pay will be established by CHR for all per diem classes, will be based upon the pay ranges of the parallel classes, and will be incorporated into the Non-Academic Title and Pay Plan.
Per Diem appointments do not require job descriptions and are not subject to classification review or open recruitment policies.
F. Separation
Per diem employees may be released without cause.
