Appointments are coordinated and processed through the applicable HR Reps, which depends on the funding source(s) for each appointment (ASSIST, FREEDM, PowerAmerica, or ECE). For ECE projects, some Faculty are split between several HR Reps.

Students/temporary employees are typically not allowed to work University holidays, however, they can work ONLY if there is a business need and there needs to be supervision during the time worked. Student/Temporary employees should reach out to their supervisors for prior approval before working any holiday.
