What Is Temporary Employment? • Many times “temporary” is referred to as OPS = Other Personnel Services • “At-will”, is also a term used to refer to temporary jobs which are supposed to be limited in time duration • It depends on the type of temporaryemployment as to whether they arebenefits-eligible #1 #2 #3

  10. UF Employees

  11. Time Limits of Temporary Employment • While the university currently does not have a time limit on the length of time an employee can be temporary, this type of employment should not be a substitute for a long-standing employment need. • If long-standing employment is needed, it should be established as a permanent position.

  12. Paying for Temporary Jobs • You may pay for temporary jobs using your department funds so long as: • The non-recurring funds are available • They are used in such a way as is allowed (must be acceptable under grant provisions, for example)

  13. In the myUFL System • Temporary job transactions must be completed within 3 days via the university’s ePAF (electronic Personnel Action Form) within the myUFL system (my.ufl.edu) • When hires are delayed, this creates problems for other temporary employment areas, such as financial aid, FICA Alternative enrollment, Gator GradCare, etc. • Federal compliance of I9 & eVerify required

  14. In the myUFL System • Please also see the handout “Temporary Hiring Information at a Glance” • Temporaryjobs do not have position numbers assigned because they are temporary “jobs”, not recurring “positions” • More details on hiring temporary jobs in myUFL, please attend: • “Introducing GatorStart,” PST093
