SMPH Recruit to Hire (Workday)

Planning
If Clinical Faculty, Obtain Workforce Planning Approval

If Temporary Employee (TE), Determine Eligibility and Title
The "Post the Job" and "Assessment" steps are optional for temporary employees. If no recruitment is needed, process hire as a waiver by creating candidate under candidate management.
- Determine Eligibility using OHR's Temporary Employee Policy
- Search for hire in Workday to see if the employee has any other active appointments. TEs who are not receiving benefits must limit their hours to an average of no more than 29 hours per week and/or 130 hours per month over a rolling 90-day period to comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This includes all hours worked in all positions within the UW System.
- NOTE: Per OHR guidance, we do not need to continue to track ACA hour compliance once employment has started.
- Determine appropriate title and compensation rate using OHR’s Compensation & Titling Toolkit
- Confirm duties are non-exempt from FLSA and the department’s needs fit a Temporary Employee hire
- Key differences between TE and Fixed-Term Terminal US:
- TE positions:
- Do not have a set FTE that the person must meet each week
- Worker Sub-Type - Temporary Fixed
- Contract Type - Limited
- Are not eligible for benefits
- Have a lower fringe rate as a result (Use LTE fringe rate versus US regular fringe rate)
- Can be for up to 1,040 hours or one year duration max limit, whichever comes first
- Cannot be converted to renewable
- Must average less than 30 hours/week (same rules as for student hourlies)
- Does not serve probationary period
- Are not added to PMPD system for evaluations
- Fixed-term terminal University Staff:
- Have a set FTE (ok if they work more, shouldn’t work less)
- Might be eligible for benefits if they qualify based on FTE/duration/prior service
- PI pays the higher fringe rate either way because of the possibility of benefits eligibility
- Can be for up to 2 years in duration
- Can be converted to ongoing if open recruitment took place and language is in the PVL
- No limit on average weekly or total hours
- Serves probationary period and are created in PMDP for evaluations
- TE positions:
If Waiver, Determine Waiver Eligibility and Reason
Open recruitment for Academic Staff, Limited Appointments, and University Staff, is not required when certain waiver criteria are met.
- If the individual is being hired on the Research Professor or Teaching Professor track, review the important items listed in the RP and TP Tracks - Position Requests & Hire Processes before submitting job requisition waiver (i.e. a dossier must be created and reviewed/approved through the RP or TP track committee prior to finalizing the hire or sending the offer letter to the candidate)
Confirm if the individual is eligible for a Waiver appointment
- Confirm if the individual is eligible for a Waiver appointment
- Request CV/resume from supervisor or individual they intend to hire.
- Review the individual's work history to confirm they are not currently hired into a terminal waiver position at the university. You may need to verify the work history in Workday
- An individual cannot be hired into back-to-back fixed-term terminal waivers.
- An employee may hold consecutive terminal appointments as long as the duties are different than the previous positions duties and the position was openly recruited for.
- Academic Staff terminal appointments are limited to 2 years. Individuals hired into an academic staff terminal appointment can only be hired for a max of a two-year time period (excluding Rehired Annuitants). See Academic Staff Policies and Procedures - Appointment Types and University Staff Appointment Types.
- Once the two-year time period has been completed, here are some options:
- Recruitment
- Convert to Renewable: If the individual is originally hired into a terminal role through an open recruitment or using a waiver reason that could have been renewable initially ('25% or less', 'Training Completed', etc.) you can convert the position to a renewable appointment following the Lifecycle Transactions: SMPH HR Academic Staff/University Staff Conversion to Renewable/Ongoing Workflow. Reminder: if 25% or less waiver reason was used, their appointment must remain at 25% time or less in order to be compliant with how they were hired/the waiver reason used.
- Instructional Academic Staff terminal appointments (i.e., Clinical Instructors - Moonlighters or Instructor CHS) are limited to 3 years. See Academic Staff Policies and Procedures - Appointment Types.
- Clinical Instructors hired using a '2 years or less' waiver reason can only be hired for a max of a two-year time period per the waiver reason.
- Clinical Instructors hired into a terminal appointment with an end date using a '25% or less' (a renewable appointment type) wavier reason cannot extend past 3 years. If you know the appointment will not go above 25% FTE, it may be best to use the '25% or less' waiver reason and have the ability to renew the terminal appointment for up to three years.
- Note: OHR may advise you that you can convert a terminal Clinical Instructor or Instructor (CHS) position to renewable, however, at SMPH, that is not how we utilize these titles. We utilize these titles only as terminal positions for short term coverage and for our non-accredited fellow hires, so they should not exceed three years. If a department would like to employ someone for greater than three years to do clinical work, they should hire into a true faculty title (Assistant, Associate or Professor rank on one of our faculty tracks).
Determine Waiver Reason and request OHR Approval (if required)
- Determine if the request aligns with one of the Direct-Hire Waiver Reasons
- If there is no Waiver reason that aligns with your situation, proceed with a SMPH Recruit to Hire (Workday)
- If there is a Waiver reason that aligns with your situation
- If faculty waiver (i.e. spousal hire), Workforce Planning (WFP) Approval will be required if employed or funded by UW Health.
- If Summer Session or Summer Service waiver, a Dual Role Appointments - Blanket Waiver Form must be completed (either by the department or HRBP) and approved by the Department Chair prior to the waiver being approved. Once fully approved through the Blanket Waiver System, the Secretary of Faculty will email approval to HRBP. HRBP will add content of the approval letter as a comment in Workday when creating the position.
- Request OHR Approval - if using one of the below waiver reasons:
- HRBP emails their HR Manager to discuss/review the appropriate use of the waiver reason.
- HRBP emails OHR Talent Acquisition and Comp Admin, cc HR Manager, to request approval.
- Reactivate Backup
- Other
- Sole Source
- Provost Hiring Initiative
- If using Referral Priority - receive info from OHR for the eligible candidates and follow the hiring process outlined in Referral Priority
Search and Screen Committee
- Hiring Manager identifies at least two people to serve on Search and Screen Committee.
- Hiring Manager and committee engage in Unconscious Assumptions Learning before you begin the search.
Advertising and Sourcing Recruitment Efforts Plan
- Prepare Advertising and Sourcing plan.
- Complete Recruitment Efforts Plan (REP), must be uploaded to job requisition in Workday
Job Requisitions and Job Postings
Generate Job Requisition Number
- Supervisory Org Updates
- If a new supervisory organization is needed, create a new sup org (you will need to select the sup org in the first step of creating a job requisition)
- If moving a vacant position to a different supervisor, follow option 2 in [Link for document 99627 is unavailable at this time]
- Backfilling existing position
- If this is selected, you must select the position that will be filled. Any position in the supervisory organization will be available for selection but the position must either be vacant or available for overlap at time of creating the job req. Availability for overlap is either set when terminating a worker's employment or by Editing Position Restrictions, update the 'availability for overlap' field.
- Any updates made to the job req under the qualifications section, including responsibilities will NOT save back to the Position Restrictions. Update the Position Restrictions via the Edit Position Restrictions so the quals and responsibilities reflect on the position and not just the job req.
To generate a number, from the Workday Home Page, search for and select Create Job Requisition from the search bar. |
