Hiring Temporary Employees
UMaine temporary employees may be hired for up to six months. Generally, a temporary employee is someone who will work on a short term project. If your need is for a temporary employee who is required on an irregular basis throughout the year (for example, survey interviewers, scoreboard keeper, etc.) please see your HR Partner to discuss possible ‘part-time as needed’ employees.
Requirements:
All temporary searches and hires (search waivers), regardless of funding, require the completion of a HireTouch Requisition for administrative approval. Please allow for up to three weeks for the approval process to be completed.
The Office of Human Resources may require the completion of Medical Assessment Checklist in order to determine whether or not a post-offer physical is required. Please make sure to note any physical requirements on the HireTouch Requisition.
Note: New employees are required to successfully pass a background check prior to their start date.
Please remember to follow your college/division/department processes for pre-approval.
The University of Maine defines a Temporary Employee as an individual who works in either a part-time or full-time position with an assignment lasting less than six months.
Contact your HR Partner if you have questions.
