HRMS Tip: Creating Ongoing Positions with Temporary Incumbents
How can I efficiently set up a non-benefits eligible position in HRMS to accommodate temporary employees who may work more than 20 hours per week for brief periods of time? Is it possible to keep such a position in HRMS for longer than 4.5 months without making the position benefits eligible?
Yes.
To set up a temporary, non-benefits eligible position with no end date:
- Create a new position and set the Hours per Week at 19 hours or less.
- Select Expected to Continue in the Duration field.
By creating your position in this manner, the position remains active until modified and you can assign incumbents as needed.
To assign incumbents:
As long as the benefits-eligibility status of the assignment matches the benefits-eligibility status of the position, HRMS allows you to assign an incumbent for a higher/lower number of hours per week. Incumbents will be non-benefits eligible when they are appointed under either of these conditions:
- At 19 hours per week or less, with no limits on end dates or
- At 20 hours or more per week for less than 4.5 months (135 days).
