This policy applies to all employees. Employees include all staff, administrators, faculty, full- or part-time, and classified or non-classified persons who are paid by the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ.

The hiring of non-exempt positions to meet similar needs is covered underÌý.

In order to meet seasonal, temporary, part-time or casual workforce needs, departments may hire an individual in a non-teaching and non-research exempt (4031) position if specific requirements are met. When considering what type of employee to hire, hiring supervisors in academic areas must consult with the Office of Academic Affairs. Hiring supervisors in other areas must contact the Department of Human Resources for guidance.

A search is not required to hire a non-instructional part-time faculty employee.

The hiring of non-instructional part-time faculty employees must be approved by the Department Head, Chair or Dean. If the term of employment is expected to be greater than 12 months, written approval by the President is also required.

Non-instructional part-time faculty employees may not work more than 29 hours per week.

If the determination is made to hire a non-instructional part-time (4031) faculty employee:

1. In the case of a non-instructional part-time faculty hire in a unit or department that is in the reporting line of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, all employment forms must be submitted to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs or designee. These forms shall include, but are not limited to, theÌýTemporary Employment Data Form (4031)Ìýand all required new hire forms and related documents.

In the case of a non-instructional part-time hire in all other units or departments other than those that are in the reporting line for the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, all employment forms must be submitted to the Department of Human Resources Staffing and Operations Manager. These forms shall include, but are not limited to, theÌý, and all required new hire forms and related documents.

3. The position must be exempt under FLSA and requires a minimum salary. The current minimum salary threshold is available on the website.

In certain circumstances, administrative, professional and computer employees such as computer systems analysts, computer programmers, or software engineers may be paid on a "fee basis" rather than a salary basis when the employee is paid an agreed sum for a single job. In these circumstances, hiring supervisors should contact the Department of Human Resources for assistance.

6. If the sum paid in one year (from the date of hire) is expected to exceed $25,000, the approval of the appropriate Vice President is required.

8. Once a non-instructional part-time faculty employee has served 12 months, that employee cannot be continued unless written approval is obtained from the President. The request for an extension should be submitted to the appropriate Vice President for approval and then submitted to the Department of Human Resources. The Department of Human Resources will make a recommendation to the President and the President's decision is final. If the request for an extension is denied, a position should be established as full-time or part-time salaried with benefits and a competitive job search conducted. The employee is eligible to apply and compete for the position. If funding is not available to establish the salaried position, the employee should be separated from employment.

9. The Department Head, Chair or Dean must verify and document the delivery of the employee's services to the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and the completion of all assigned work. Documentation includes, but is not limited to, written goals, performance testing, and expected outcomes.
