Full-time hourly staff normally work a regular schedule of 35 to 40 hours per week, as determined by the nature of the work and department head.

Salaried Staff (exempt)

Staff who do not receive overtime pay and are expected to work the hours necessary to fulfill their duties, normally a minimum of 40 hours per week.

Regular or Temporary

A regular staff member is one who works in a position that is expected to continue indefinitely. Nevertheless, regular positions are “at will” with no guarantee of continued employment.

Temporary staff members are “at will” employees who work on a temporary basis, normally on fixed, short-term assignments of less than six months. Temporary employees may be hired by the College or “leased” from a temporary help agency. The use of temporary employees should be approved by the appropriate Senior Staff member and the Human Resource Department.
