Temporary Extra (“Temps”)

Hiring temporary extra employees is a widely used resource to get us through particularly busy times, to fill in for an employee on leave, or to assist with a large project for a limited period of time.

***Please note that there is no need for GSE HR to be involved if you are hiring through AppleOne.

Departments remain responsible for managing their temporary employee expense within their budget, and any overages continue to require budgetary approval. GSE HR's approval of temporary extra hires does not constitute budget approval.

According to University Policy 114 – Temporary Staff on Penn’s Payroll, temporary workers cannot be on Penn’s payroll for more than 9 months and should work less than 1,000 hours in a fiscal year. Anyone hiring a temporary extra worker should also be familiar with the allowable scope of the position which is documented in Policy 114.

***Please note that temporary workers who are listed as "Practitioner Consultants" (like program mentors) are exempt from certain policies for the generaltemporary worker category. Contact Coral Haas for more information.
