Non-Student Hourly
Policies
- It is University policy that non-student hourly (temporary) employment be restricted to those individuals employed to meet unexpected work-loads, to fill a vacant position while the department evaluates their needs for a permanent replacement, or to provide short-term assistance (seasonal workers, returning retirees helping to train their replacement, etc.).
- In any 12-month period (April 2019 to March 2020, for instance) a non-student hourly employee may work only 9 months – this is a per-employee limit so work in one or more departments counts toward the employee’s limit, except when a Student at Other Institution form is provided.
- Non-student hourlies are covered by Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment Insurance Unemployment Insurance (HR Manual, p. 1-22).
