Questions relative to an applicant's eligibility for rehire should be directed to Human Resources. While departments need not follow formal recruitment and hiring procedures to fill temporary vacancies, departments must coordinate with Human Resources to establish the appropriate salary grade and hiring rate. The Employment Section of Human Resources can assist departments in securing qualified applicants. Salary offers must have prior approval from Human Resources. Temporary employees may be appointed to regular positions on a competitive basis only after positions are advertised, giving others opportunity to apply.
Temporary employees use the regular application process.
Departments may choose to use a competitive search process to hire a temporary employee, thus making it possible to grant the employee regular status at a later time. Temporary employees may be separated at any time without prior notice or grievance rights. Temporary employees who believe their legal rights with respect to employment have been violated may appeal their dismissal to Human Resources. When temporary employees leave UNL, they may be eligible for unemployment benefits as determined by the Nebraska Department of Labor. Questions about departmental obligation regarding unemployment benefits should be directed to Benefits, 472-2600.
