2. The HR Manager will send the hiring manager additional questions about funding if a dean’s office review is required due to current hiring restrictions.
3. HR Manager will make any necessary edits and send the job description back to the hiring manager for final approval.
4. HR will advise the hiring manager regarding compensation for the position, which will be based on both the budgeted amount and equity for the position.
5. Temporary positions can be professional staff or classified staff. Based on the job description, HR will determine if the position is pro staff or classified.
6. Temporary positions can be hourly or salaried.

8. Once the job description has been reviewed by GS HR, it will be sent to Central HR for final review and approval.
9. All new hires require a background check. The background check can take anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks to process (if they have lived outside the US recently). Keeping this in mind, if a background check is required for the new hire, he/she cannot start work at the UW until the background check has cleared and the department has been given approval to enter the new employee into payroll.
Please contact the HR manager if you have any questions.
