New standard approved regarding temporary employment

The University has approved a new temporary standard governing the employment of temporary staff. Effective Jan. 1, temporary staff may work up to, but not exceed, 1,000 hours in a 12-month period. The current temporary position request form will no longer be used, and departments will assume the responsibility for hiring temporary staff and monitoring their hours.

The Careers website by Human Resources' Talent Acquisition area will be updated by Friday (Dec. 21) with additional instructions and information to assist with administering temporary employment. A new report has been developed for monitoring hours. Instructions for how to run and interpret the report will be forthcoming.

As a reminder, all hires including temporary staff must be made through SuccessFactors effective Jan. 1. Temporary staff will be hired using the quick hire process.

For questions concerning the temporary standard or the administration of temporary staff, contact tempgroupedrequests@purdue.edu. Questions about hiring temporary staff through SuccessFactors can be directed to sfrecruit@purdue.edu.

The official University policy website will be updated Thursday (Dec. 20) to reflect the changes.
