Human Resources

Temporary Salary Supplements

Temporary Salary Supplements are processed when a hiring department is hiring a permanent employee within their department to do additional duties outside of their permanent position for their department.  For example, if Human Resources hired a Human Resource employee to complete a project on a temporary basis outside the scope of their normal job duties, it would be considered a Temporary Salary Supplement. The hiring department is responsible for submitting a signed/approved internal document to HR.  Internal documents are a Faculty Appointment Sheet or a Form 12. The Faculty Appointment Sheet is used for faculty teaching appointments per term, a Form 12 is used for all other hires on campus.  As of January 31, 2019 HR is processing all Temporary Salary Supplements.  Upon receipt of the signed internal form, HR will process the Temporary Salary Supplement.


Additional Assignment/Job (Internal Dual)

An Additional Assignment/Job (Internal Dual) Hire is processed when a hiring department is hiring a permanent employee outside of their department. For example, if Human Resources hired a Finance & Administration employee to conduct a training for them and wanted to pay them, it would be considered an Additional Assignment/Job. Please complete the Form-12 and the Additional Assignment/Job Request Form and submit to HR for processing.
