It is University policy that non-student hourly employment be restricted to those individuals employed to meet unexpected work loads or other short-term situations. Non-student hourly employment is limited to six months in any twelve month period. This is a per employee limit and all time worked for the University, whether for one department or several, is counted toward the allowance.

Since departments may directly hire non-student hourly employees it is essential that department personnel fully comply with the non-discrimination policy.
