Temporary Employment

The Department of Human Resources will assist the requesting department with securing temporary employees to accommodate workloads created by vacations, vacant positions, increases in workloads, etc. The requesting department should submit a written request along with a description of duties for the temporary assignment to the Department of Human Resources.

The Department of Human Resources provides assistance in securing temporary labor through the existing applicant pool. In the event that a temporary request is difficult to fill in a timely manner, the Department of Human resources will contact a private temporary agency who immediately will identify qualified candidates. The temporary employee is hired at the requesting department's expense. It is advised that the requesting department allow the Department of Human Resources to coordinate this effort.

Normally a temporary employee is appointed for a period of six months or less by the University. Extensions of employment beyond the initial period are subject to advance approval by the Department of Human Resources and may be approved up to twelve consecutive months. An extension request should be made well in advance in order to prevent work disruption and to allow sufficient processing time.

The Department of Human Resources will verify the identity and eligibility of temporary employees for employment by having them complete the Disclosure and Authorization for Criminal Conviction Check (HR-ACC) and the Federal I-9 form. Temporary employees will also be required to complete tax withholding forms (W-4 and NC-4). The Form I-9 and a copy of the tax withholding forms will be retained in the Department of Human Resources; the original tax withholding forms will be forwarded to the Payroll Office.  The hiring department should receive approval from Human Resources prior to allowing a temporary employee to begin work.
