- ! an ASM is hired as a regular term appointment with a contract that spans more than one (1) fiscal year, in which case the PDTER allowance is pro-rated for the duration of his or her appointment in *each* fiscal year. In these cases, the PDTER shall not exceed $1600 in any twelve (12) month period.
All claims for PDTER shall be submitted before resignation or retirement, or termination of a contract. Note that the university’s fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31.
