This guide assumes there is a position that is currently vacant or will soon be vacant with no changes in the Job Description or pay. If position duties or pay are changing, use the guide How to Reclassify a Staff or Temp Position.

To rehire you will need:

  • The amount of Annual Leave Payout paid to the prior incumbent
  • An approved Budget Amendment to fund payout
  • A copy of the current organizational chart

If you have any questions about the above items, please contact HR (x5709) or Budget Services (x5710).

Preparing the Position for Posting

Budget Amendments are required if there is Annual Leave Payout for the prior incumbent. Contact HR (x5709) if you have any questions about Annual Leave Payout. HR requires the current organizational chart be attached to all positions.
  4. After the fields are filled out and any applicable documents are attached, move the position to Human Resources Initial Review. From there, it will follow the workflow  until approved or denied. If the position is approved, you will receive a notification – this is when the position is now ready to post.
