How is a temporary position filled?
Position not advertised—A Merit requisition is not required to fill a vacancy. Contact University Employment Services (319-335-2658) if the department needs a list of names of individuals who have indicated they are available for short-term work, primarily clerical or service support. Once the department decides on an employee, follow the instructions found on the HR Employment Services web site, Appointing Hourly Merit Employees, to appoint the individual. Position advertised—University Employment Services can advertise the position on the Merit Job Line. A Merit requisition is required if the position is to be advertised. The position will be immediately placed on extended advertising. The Merit requisition is found on the Employee Self Service web site. You will first need to sign in using your HawkID and password. Select the ‘Administration’ tab, then ‘Systems,’ ‘Hire@UIowa,’ and then ‘Advertise Merit.’ Choose ‘Until End Date Above’ in the drop down list in the Advertising Options
