Acknowledge Appointment Letters in MyDay
Your appointment letter, provided via MyDay, details your classroom appointments, private lesson assignments and hourly rate. It is an important document, so please review it carefully. Associated with your appointment letter is the Notice and Acknowledgement of Pay Rate and Payday, which The New School is required to provide to you under Section 195.1 of the New York State Labor Law and you must review and acknowledge receipt of this notice via MyDay.
When you login to MyDay, you will find an inbox task that contains a link to your appointment letter for each semester.
You will receive and be asked to acknowledge an appointment letter for each term that you are teaching.
