9 and 12 Month Temporary Employee Questionnaire

Please review the full guidance on Temporary appointments here.


Professional, Alternate Funding, and Research Temporary appointments are limited to 9 or 12 months. Classified Temporary appointments are limited to 9 months only. Departments must determine what their temporary staffing needs are before they finalize an appointment and decide on the most appropriate work schedule (e.g. variable, consistent, and number of hours). Nine (9) month appointments cannot be converted to twelve (12) months.


Nine-Month Appointments

  • Hours worked can be any amount and can exceed an average of 30 hours a week. This appointment is limited to 9 months of continuous employment in a rolling 12 month period.
  • Requires a 4-month break between any additional temporary CU appointment after 9 months.
  • The 9 month period is counted from the appointment start date, not from January 1st or July 1st. For example, if the first date worked is December 15th, then the appointment can be from December 15th through September 14th.
  • Posting is not required if truly a temporary position that will not exceed 9 months and a pre-determined candidate is identified.


Twelve-Month Appointments

  • Hours worked are limited to less than an average of 30 hours per week and a total of 1,560 hours in a rolling twelve 12 month period. This appointment requires a 6 month break between appointments due to the weekly average requirement in the rolling 12-month period. In no case can the individual work more than 1,560 hours or exceed 12 months.
  • One or more days worked within a month is counted as a whole month. For example, if the first date worked is December 15th, then the appointment can be from December 15th through November 14th regardless of how many days they worked in any month.
  • Twelve-month appointments require a posting, even if a pre-determined candidate is identified.
  • There is no scenario in which a temporary employee can exceed 12 months.
Do you have a pre-identified candidate to hire or are you completing an open search?*

For 12 month appointments: If you already have a candidate please select pre-identified. We will still assist with posting once the questionnaire is submitted.

(If current or former employee.)

Please list the PN if you already have a position to use.

How many individuals do you anticipate hiring from the search?*
Is this a 9 month or 12 month temporary appointment?*

Please note: Classified appointments are limited to 9 months maximum. Once the form is submitted we will confirm the appropriate job code and whether it is eligible to continue for 12 months.

Is this individual a CU retiree or will they be a student at the time of hire?*

If they are a CU retiree please contact HR.staffworkingretiree@cuanschutz.edu. If they are a student they must be hired as a student employee.

*For Anschutz positions, please also attach the Critical Position Approval email.
