OVERVIEW

Faculty timecard is used for faculty and administrative professional employees holding current or adjunct appointments.

The faculty timecard process provides positive-pay for WSU employees for duties or services which are clearly beyond regularly-assigned duties.

Non-WSU Employees

Faculty timecard may be used for appointments for non-WSU employees who are doing faculty kinds of work for which other temporary employment designations are not appropriate. Contact Human Resource Services (HRS) for assistance with these exceptions.

REGULATIONS

Create Appointment

The faculty timecard appointment must be entered into the online Temporary Employment System (TEMPS) before the Appointment Funding Begin Date.

NOTE: To access and enter information into the online TEMPS system, employees must attend training and obtain approval from HRS. Contact HRS for more information; telephone 335-4521.

Annual Limits

Timecard appointments are for one year or less.

Benefits

Holding a timecard appointment does not qualify an employee for benefits such as sick leave or annual leave. However, holding a timecard appointment may qualify an employee for employee insurance benefits. Contact Human Resource Services for more information; telephone 335-4521.
