Responsible Office: Human Resources
Background
This policy applies to employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement or for whom the agreement contains no provision regarding this subject.
Policy
Per University policy, the rehire of employees is contingent on a positive work record. A former employee whose employment was involuntarily terminated for wrongdoing or misconduct, or for violating University rules/policies, or who resigned in lieu of termination for such reasons is ineligible for re-employment with the University. The following is a list of prerequisites that must be met to be eligible for rehire:
- Successful completion of the original probationary period;
- Appropriate notice of resignation;
- Participation in an exit interview per HR policy 12-05;
- Performance evaluations reflecting that the employee’s performance consistently met the requirements of the job.
Procedure
- A former employee who is seeking reemployment must indicate his/her prior employment with the University on the job application. Failure to do so will result in ineligibility for re- employment regardless of the reason for separation.
- All applications will be subject to a Human Resources search of University employment records to determine previous employment status, reason for termination of employment and eligibility for rehire.
- Applicants ineligible for rehire per this policy will be notified by Human Resources and will not be referred to fill vacancies.
- Eligible applicants will be informed of the hiring decision in accordance with Human Resources Policy 16-04, Selection for Position Vacancies for Classified Positions, or Human Resources Policy 16-05, Selection for Position Vacancies for Unclassified Positions.
