  • Before You Start

    Temporary workers may be used by campus departments for assignments expected to last six (6) months or less than 1,000 hours in a 12-month period, whichever will not exceed 1,000 hours.

    An initial temporary staffing request cannot exceed 6 months. For an existing temporary worker on assignment, if an extension past 6 months is needed, Staff HR must be notified for written approval (via email). If approval is granted the email is sent to the Supplier and should be attached to the change order requisition.

    Staff Human Resources provides guidance and monitors adherence to university/campus policies governing the utilization of temporary staffing services.

    Campus units are advised to review the SHR Temporary Staffing Services guide and consult their employee relations analyst with any questions before initiating a staffing request to a temporary staff agency.​​​​​​

  • Process Summary

    After selecting a temporary staffing supplier:

    1. Submit the supplier's electronic Temporary Staffing Request & Proposal (TSRP).
    2. Supplier will email confirmation and work with requesting campus Unit to identify the most qualified candidate based on the competencies required for successful performance.
    3. When the temporary worker has been identified and required background checks have been performed and results obtained that meet UCSC requirements, the supplier will return the TSRP with additional detail regarding the staffing engagement.
    4. The requesting campus Unit will then create a purchase requisition using the CruzBuy Temporary Staffing Request Form and attach the TSRP to the requisition for required documentation.
    5. The temporary worker can begin the assignment when the CruzBuy purchase order is approved and required background check is complete.

  • Time Card Administration and Payment

    Time Card approval by UCSC is done according to the supplier's procedures - typically an online system for approving hours worked.

    Instructions for the supplier's timekeeping system are emailed to the temporary worker supervisor with the TSRP form.

    The supplier will electronically submit temporary staffing invoices to FAST/Accounts Payable for payment following timecard approval by the UCSC department supervising the temporary staff.

    In the related CruzBuy purchase order using the Invoices tab the invoices can be and should be reviewed for accuracy.
