Employees are usually classified in one of the following classifications. (Since all employees are hired for an unspecified duration, these categories do not guarantee employment for any specific length of time.)
- Regular Full-time employee (normally scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week)
- Regular Part-time employee (normally scheduled to work no more than 20 hours per week on a continuing basis, but may work up to 30 hours per week)
- Regular employees may be hired for 12 months; 10 months; or 9 months per fiscal year, and may be benefit eligible depending on full- or part-time status.
- Temporary employee (employee hired for specific period of time and are not benefits eligible)
- Casual employee (seasonal or occasional employees who work for less than 3 months but no more than 500 hours per year and are not benefits eligible)
- Student employee (matriculating student working at an on-campus job and are not benefits eligible)
The above is intended simply as general guideline. Employees will be advised at the time of hire, or shortly thereafter, of their classification. To qualify for benefits, employees must be a full-time, or a qualifying part time regular employee and must meet all of the eligibility requirements necessary for the specific benefit.
