A short-term temporary staff member is a staff person hired for a limited duration scheduled to work fewer than 1,040 hours per year. Temporary positions are not budgeted as ongoing positions, and because they are either short-term or very part-time, they are not benefits-eligible. Current students are hired only into positions defined as student employment jobs; however, once a student completes their degree requirements and graduates, they may be hired for a temporary staff position. Please note: if you anticipate the temporary staff member will work the equivalent of half time for one year (1040 hours), the position is considered a long-term temporary staff member. The procedures outlined below do not apply. Please contact Human Resources for more information about hiring longer-term temporary staff.
