  Complete a Temporary Classified Appointment Requistion (new "computer-friendly" version)

  Route form for approval signatures.

  If you have indicated on the form that you need referrals from the temporary clerical pool, HR will contact you to let you know when the applications are ready for you to view online through PeopleAdmin.

If you plan to use a temporary employee agency, please call the Classified Employment Manager for assistance. In accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes, PSU will use a qualified rehabilitative facility (QRF) for this purpose.

IMPORTANT: Prior to hiring a temporary employee, be certain that your signed/approved Temporary Classified Employee Requisition has been received in Human Resources. You can confirm by calling the Classified Employment Manager at 5-4940 or the Employment Coordinator at 5-4932.

Once you have selected the employee to fill the temporary appointment, complete the Letter of Offer. Provide the Letter of Offer and the Terms and Conditions of Temporary Employment (second page of the Letter of Offer) to the employee. Route a copy of the signed Letter of Offer to Human Resources on or before the employee's first day.

If your temporary employee is new to PSU, they must go to HR on or before the first date of employment to complete hire documents.

If your temporary employee is new to PSU, you must also provide to them PSU policy information, including Sexual Harassment/Rights and Resolutions, Ethic Guide for Public Employees, and the Drug-Free Work Place Policy.

An individual temporary employee cannot exceed 1,040 hours in a twelve-month period (rolling forward from the first day of employment). Nor can consecutive temporary employees be hired to exceed the 1,040 rule. It is the responsibility of the supervisor/department to monitor hours.

Pay period for temporary employees extend from the 16th of one month to the 15th of the following month, with payment on the last business day of the month (i.e., work from July 16 to August 15 is paid August 31).

The employment "end date" for a temporary employee is not always "firm"; the duration of employment may not be known at the time of hire. To insure timely final pay, it is very important to contact Human Resourcesr (Alex Crossfield 5-4932 alexc@pdx.edu or Karen Abbott Yelle 5-4940 yellek@pdx.edu) as early as possible when the actual last day of work is known.
