Temporary Employment (E-49)
Original Implementation: September, 1988
Last Revision: January 30, 2007
When it becomes necessary for a department to seek temporary employees, and temporary assistance is not available from within the department, division or college, the following procedures must be followed.
Temporary Casual Employment
A department may employ a temporary casual employee either on a part-time or full-time basis for a period not to exceed ninety (90) consecutive working days. Departments may hire a casual employee without posting the position. Casual employees must be paid at least minimum wage and must complete the appropriate paperwork with the Human Resources office within the first three (3) days of employment and attend the mandatory EEO Training within the first thirty (30) days of employment. Departments should complete a PAR to hire the casual employee, fax a copy to Human Resources, and then route the PAR for signatures.
Temporary Services
Temporary employees may also be secured through the temporary agency which has contracted with SFA to provide temporary labor services. The SFA department needing assistance should contact the temporary agency to make the order and negotiate the wage to be paid to the temporary services employee. Upon agreement between the department and the temporary agency, the temporary agency will contact the SFA Human Resources and Purchasing departments to notify them of the agreement. More detailed information regarding the temporary agency and how to secure a temporary employee can be found on the SFA Human Resources and Purchasing department’s websites.
