- Short-term, 67 workdays or less (temporary) in a calendar year
- Characterized by schedules that are variable, intermittent, on-call and consistently 14 hours a week or less (casual)

Temporary Staffing Agencies
The University has a list of preferred vendors for hiring temporary staff. See the list of preferred vendors by visiting the U-Wide Contract Agreements page.
Temporary staff hired through staffing agencies are not paid by the University. The staffing agencies pay the workers and bill the college or unit based on the time reported and approved by the college or unit administrator.
The hourly rate is determined by the skill set, background, and experience required for the job.
