Cornell Employment: Concurrent (Dual) Appointments
Concurrent (or dual) appointment means holding two positions. A staff member may have a concurrent appointment in the same department or in another department on a regular or temporary basis.
When a concurrent appointment involves a regular position and a temporary position, the regular position will be considered the staff member’s primary appointment and the temporary position will be considered a secondary appointment. The work hours of the secondary appointment must not conflict with the primary position’s work hours. See HR Policy 6.7.12: Overtime (Non-exempt Staff) and HR Policy 6.13.1 Conflict of Commitment: Dual Appointment Exempt Staff for details.
