Hiring Temporary or Casual Employees

Temporary or casual appointments are either:

  • 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)

Note: Talent Acquisition does not provide recruiting support for temp casual positions, but the TDX process still applies.
