Departments use hourly (wage or temporary) employees to meet seasonal or temporarily excessive workload needs, for short-term projects, as interim replacements or to perform jobs that do not require faculty or classified employees. The work-hour limit for hourly employees is 1,480 hours annually (365 consecutive days). Work hours include regular and overtime hours, student hours and any other hours worked in a second job.
Please review the policy on Wage Employment (Hourly and Student Worker).
