Dual/Additional Employment Process

Departments wishing to hire a full-time employee from another department must first complete a dual employment agreement with campus HR.

Work over 100% time by an employee who holds a full-time position is designated as dual employment if the time is worked in another department or in a different class in the same department. Upon request of the department head, requests of this nature may be approved by the Employment and Staffing Services Division of the Human Resources Department when:

1. An employee is to teach a University Extension course with teaching and related duties performed outside the employee's regular schedule; or
    
2. It is impractical to employ another person; the additional appointment will not exceed a total of 12 calendar months; the time worked on the additional appointment will not be detrimental to the employee's health nor affect performance adversely; and the employee's full-time department head agrees to the arrangement. If dual employment is necessary for a period in excess of 12 months, the Employment and Staffing Services Unit is authorized to approve individual exceptions.
   
   If an employee works full-time in a class that is exempt from premium overtime and works overtime in a class that is subject to premium overtime, the overtime is paid at the straight-time rate providing that the overtime does not exceed 20% of the total hours worked in a workweek. If an employee works full-time in a class that is non-exempt from premium overtime, the overtime is subject to payment at the premium rate, regardless of the exemption status of the position filled in a dual employment status.
