Assigning Interim Duties

Title Change
When a regular employee is assigned interim additional duties, his or her official University classification title will not change. However, a courtesy title that further clarifies the employee's interim role may be appropriate. The department may recommend a courtesy title on the Request for Assigning Interim Duties form. Supervisors should note that the courtesy title must be preceded by the term "interim" or "acting."

Duration of Additional Duties
Interim additional duties should be assigned for a short period. Assignment of interim additional duties for more than 6 months requires the approval of the Director of Staffing and Compensation Services.

Duration of Related Salary Adjustment
If an employee receives a temporary salary adjustment as a result of the assignment of interim additional duties, the temporary salary adjustment will end when the employee is no longer performing the interim duties. The department is responsible for ensuring that a Change in Status form is completed and forwarded to the Staffing and Compensation Services (SCS) Division within the appropriate time frame to end the temporary salary adjustment.
