Overview
This tip sheet provides guidelines on hiring casual employees into PeopleSync. This type of employee is a part-time, temporary employee, who works for a limited duration (fixed term), and is hired and paid through NYU. The employee’s salary type is hourly, biweekly paid, and typically charged to Account – SHARE-51115. As with agency temps, a casual employee is not a student at NYU.
Discuss the request to hire a casual employee with the Office of Compensation. Casual employees hired on NYU payroll are exceptional as all temps should be hired through the agency, however, there are certain types of temporary employees who must be on NYU payroll, such as high school students and medical professionals. Compensation will also review and approve the proposed hourly rate.
As with regular new hires please make sure an N# and NetID have been first assigned to the employee.
Casual Employees are hired into the job management supervisory organization (sup org). Choose an appropriate job management supervisory org or you can request that one is created. For example, School of Rock (Casual Employees).
