Hire Part-Time Employee

Things you will need before initiating a Hire eDoc (for part-time (formerly temporary) employees)

  • University ID
  • Effective date/Start date
  • Position Number
  • Work Location
  • Compensation Rate
  • Voucher Code
  • Account Numbers

To find a University ID: Use the Person Inquiry under the Inquiries column on the HRMS portal page.  If there are no results, you may need to initiate an Add New Person eDoc.   

Check for Active Jobs: Make sure the individual does not have any other active jobs within IU by entering the University ID or First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth in the Employee Active Jobs Lookup section of the HRMS portal.
