DUTA ꧋has urged the principals of DU colleges to arrange the one-day notional break given to the ad-hoc teachers after the end of their tenure in such a way that they do not ha🐭ve to undergo loss of salary after rejoining.

As per the rules of Delhi University (DU), an ad-hoc appointment is made for a maximum of four months.  If the requirement persists beyond four months, a college can continue with the ꦯservice of the teacher after giving them a notional break of one day.

"It has been brought to the notice of Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) that 🐎if the four months (120 days) term of some teachers working on an ad-hoc basis comes to an end on the day that may re꧟sult in longer break than the one-day notional break, then in such instances teachers have to loose more than a day's salary," the DUTA said in the letter on Friday.

In the letter, th💜e DUTA suggested the colleges to give the nominal break on the day prior to the completion of 120 days and allow their re-joining soon after the break.

The university currently has over 4,200 ad-hoc teachers in 66 colleges. Last month, Delhi University di🍌rected its colleges to continue the services of existing ad-hoc teachers on usual terms "for the time ඣbeing" in the 2022-23 academic session till regular appointments are made.
