Temporary Employment
Generally, a temporary employee is hired for short-term project-based work or to fill-in
for the long-term absence of a regular employee. Most temporary employees (other
than faculty) work on an hourly basis, must be paid no less than the current minimum
wage, and are paid overtime for any hours worked over forty in a workweek.

the employee has begun work will subject the University to federal fines and punishment
for non-compliance with I-9/E-Verify and other legal requirements.

Office of Human Resources.
