Title
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Policy on SHRA Temporary to Permanent Change in Status Waiver
Introduction
Purpose
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ("UNC-Chapel Hill" or "the University") provides units with the option of hiring an SHRA Temporary Employee into a Permanent Position by using the Temporary to Permanent Waiver process. This policy outlines the conditions under which Temporary Employees may be waived into Permanent Positions.
Scope
This policy is only applicable to SHRA positions. This policy applies to all direct-hire temporary employees and University Temporary Services (UTS) employees working at UNC-Chapel Hill who meet the requirements outlined in Section 8.1 of the State of North Carolina Office of State Human Resources (OSHR) Recruitment and Posting of Vacancies Policy.
Policy
Policy Statement
The University provides a process for units to directly hire Temporary Employees into vacant, permanent positions without posting the position when specific criteria are met in accordance with the OSHR Recruitment and Posting of Vacancies Policy.
See Section 8.1 of the OSHR Recruitment and Posting of Vacancies Policy for information on the required criteria for eligibility.
The procedure for requesting a Temporary to Permanent Waiver is outlined in the SHRA Temporary to Permanent Change in Status Waiver Procedure. Note that submission of a Temporary to Permanent Waiver does not guarantee placement into a Permanent Position. Selection for the Permanent Position will be based on departmental needs, budgetary constraints, the employee meeting the required qualifications, experience, performance of the employee in the temporary position, and Office of Human Resources approval.
