- Definition
Temporary employment pools are operated by Human Resource Departments to serve campus/hospital/laboratory staffing needs.- The primary goal of the Temporary Employment Program (TEP) is to provide immediate administrative and technical support services to the University departments. Departments utilize TEP employees to complete special projects, to respond to workload fluctuations that are unusual or episodic in nature, to fill in for employees who are on leave, or to fill in during a recruitment period.
- A second goal is to provide the campus/laboratory/hospital with a viable source of candidates for its career and limited appointments.
- Individuals employed in temporary employment pools shall be appointed to a floater appointment.
- A "Floater Appointment" is an appointment reserved for use in temporary employment pools, established at any percent of full time up to eighteen (18) months in duration.
- An employee in a floater appointment is not a Career, Casual-Restricted, Academic, Limited Appointment, or Per Diem employee.
- An employee with a Floater Appointment is "at will" and may be released from a Temporary Employment Pool without just cause.
- Conversion to Career
- Individuals in floater appointments for a period of more than eighteen (18) months without a break in service of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive calendar days, shall be converted to a career appointment on the first day of the month following completion of the 18-month floater appointment.
- If an individual in a floater appointment has a break in service for a period of 120 consecutive calendar days, that individual may be re-hired into a new floater appointment.
- Scheduling
Employees holding floater appointments may be scheduled or not scheduled, or released from any assignment as determined by the University. Assignment to a floater appointment is not a guarantee of work. - Benefits
