Process Overview

Step 1.

If you desire to hire a specific employee ask him/her to complete and sign an application for employment. Ensure the employee has documented all work experiences.   If you don't have a specific person in mind, skip this step.

Step 2.

Complete the Temp Request Form by clicking on the link above (near "Forms Needed").

Step 3.

HR will review the request, find the closest existing classification, ensure the applicant has met minimum qualifications, verify hourly pay, confirm the employee has the proper work status and complete the employment paperwork.

Step 4.

HR will send you an email signifying approval of your request. At that time, instruct the employee to bring a copy of the ss card, documents for the Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9) and a voided check. We will not be able to hire the employee until these documents are provided and the employment paperwork is signed.

Step 5.

At the time HR enters the appointment paperwork a future-dated termination will be entered into PS. If you wish to extend past this date notify HR prior to the end date.
