Students' employment is at will, which means that students or NYU can terminate employment at any time, with or without cause. NYU can also withdraw or rescind this offer at any time prior to the commencement of work without restriction.

Policy for Releasing TFs or GFs from Contractual Obligations:
If, for whatever reason, a professor wants to release a TF or GF from the position, both the professor and student must discuss the issue and agree to dissolve the contract. Both professor and student should agree to termination and compensation in writing.

If it is decided that the TF or GF is released from the position, the professor and student must come to an agreement regarding payment. Generally, payment is pro-rated by the number of weeks worked. (For example, if a TF or GF has a salary of $3,600 and the semester is 15 weeks long, the weekly rate is $240. If the TF or GF has worked 4 out of 15 weeks, he or she would be paid $960.) However, the pro-rated amount can differ from this formula, as long as the professor and student agree on this new amount.

Students receiving tuition remission will have the partial credit removed from their account. The department’s coordinator should contact the Office of Faculty Affairs to inform the amount and they will provide the updated information to Financial Aid.

Students receiving a check from payroll will simply receive a reduced amount of paychecks. The department coordinator should contact Pauline Braz regarding the amount already disbursed (note: several smaller paychecks to TFs or GFs are disbursed throughout the semester; TF or GF salaries are not paid in one check) and then inform the Office of Faculty Affairs of the updated amount.

The remaining funds from the pro-rated salary can be used to hire another Teaching Fellow. If a Faculty member would like to pay the replacement TF or GF more than the balance, these funds would have to come out of the Faculty member’s STARS account.
