On-call employees and persons from temporary agencies are requested by departments through Human Resources for short-term assignments until a new person begins employment, for medical leave relief and occasionally for special projects. Human Resource maintains a list of on-call employees to provide support services for short-term assignments. When Human Resources is not able to fill your request from the on-call pool and the need is urgent, Human Resources will, with your approval, contact a temporary agency to fill the request.

To request an on-call or temporary service employee:

1. Requesting Supervisor completes the Temporary Request Form  in its entirety and returns it to Human Resources for processing. Please be as descriptive as possible when listing required skills as it will aid Human Resources to get the best possible match. Please do not overstate job description, as this will affect the hourly rate charged to your department. If you have worked with a particular temporary employee and would like to reengage them, Human Resources will attempt to do that for you. Please try to give as much notice as possible so that Human Resources can work on getting your temporary employee by desired start date. Please note, Human Resources cannot guarantee last minute requests.
2. Requesting Supervisor must contact the Director of Finance/Controller in the Business Office to determine budget savings calculation & approval of funds for temporary help.
3. Human Resources fills the position from the on-call pool or temporary service agency. Human Resources notifies the requesting department by phone that the position has been filled and gives the name of the person. A copy of the completed request form is sent back to the department and a copy is sent to the Business Office.
4. Human Resources receives the agency invoice and forwards it to the department that requested the temporary employee. The department notes their account number on the bill and promptly returns it to the Business Office for payment.
