Employment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Definition:<\/strong> The University employs temporary employees to meet short-term and intermittent workload needs under the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work expected to be half-time or more, but less than six months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work expected to be less than half-time per month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intermittent work that does not include six consecutive months at half-time, or more, AND does not exceed 950 hours in a 12 month period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limits:<\/strong> Temporary\/Hourly appointments may not exceed 950 hours in a twelve consecutive month period from the original date of hire. Hours worked in all temporary positions that an employee holds at EWU count toward the total hours worked. Overtime hours are not included in the 950 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: The employing department must submit a request to HR to separate the employee when the employee&#8217;s assignment, as originally defined, ends.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are 3 things to track for each non-student hourly employee:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insurance Eligibility:<\/strong> EWU non-student hourly employees whose employment is at least 480 hours over a rolling period of six consecutive months will be eligible for the employer provided insurances. Therefore, any non-student hourly employee working 480 hours (80 x 6 months) in a consecutive period with pay in each of the 6 months will be eligible for insurance benefits beginning the seventh month of continuous employment.&nbsp;Contact the Benefits Office at 509.359.2488 if you have questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Retirement Eligibility:<\/strong> Employees who normally work 70 hours or more per month for any five months of the academic year (September &#8211; August) are eligible for PERS retirement plan participation and will be required to participate if the position is determined eligible. May include students enrolled under 10 credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>950 hours:<\/strong> The employee may not exceed 950 hours in a 12 consecutive month period from the original date of hire. Overtime hours are not included in the 950 hours. Hours worked in all temporary positions that an employee holds at EWU count toward the total hours worked. If an employee has one temporary position and accepts another, the hours from both EWU temporary positions count toward the total hours the employee may work during one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6&nbsp;credit and 10 credit clarification<\/strong><br>A temporary employee carrying 6 undergraduate credit hours (or 5 graduate credit hours) or more is considered a student and is exempt from social security taxes. If a student is enrolled full time (10 credits or more) they are exempt for retirement participation and social security taxes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-eeb71b85 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-ae9fded9 gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-ae9fded9\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Students<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-d89c675a\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d89c675a\">\n\n<p>Refer to policy<a href=\"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/policies\/knowledge-base\/ewu-407-01-temporary-employment\/\"> EWU 407-01: Temporary Employment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6 and 10 Credit Clarification:<br><\/strong>A temporary employee carrying 6 undergraduate credit hours (or 5 graduate credit hours) or more is considered a student and is exempt from social security taxes.

This must be documented at time of hire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An elected or appointed position of the ASEWU or recognized student organization, including the Easterner staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A documented and approved programmed internship which consists of an academic component and work experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students employed through the state or federal work study programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Retirement Eligibility Tracking:<\/strong> Full-time students are exempt from PERS membership under WAC 415-108-520. At the time of employment students receive a copy of the WAC and a Statement of Personal Ineligibility for Membership in the Washington Public Employees Retirement System to sign. If the employee is participating in PERS at the time they become a student, they need to contact the Benefits Office to get the proper exemption.
