LTE Policy and Guidelines

Limited Term Employment appointments give the campus the ability to hire short-term employees to carry out sporadic work. Individual appointments are limited to 1,043 hours annually. Appointing authorities are prohibited from appointing a person who is not a resident of this state. LTE appointments are only appropriate if the position is considered an Irregular or Seasonal employment activity.

Irregular LTE Functions- Activities involve work that is temporary in nature and does not allow for the creation of a permanent position. Sub-categories include:

Defined beginning and end point- This would include an LTE filling in for a permanent or student function. For these situations, divisions can only have the LTE position for up to two years.
Peak demand- Staffing sporadic events in which many individuals are needed to accomplish tasks in a short period of time.
Special Employment- LTE would perform functions for the campus that are part of curriculum for their education or own self-development.

Seasonal LTE Functions- Activities are associated with a time of year or events that are time limited. Often this is full time work that is needed less than half the year.
