Policy Title
Acting Versus Interim Status Policy
Policy Statement
“Acting” Status
ACTING status is defined as a position filled on a temporary basis to replace a regular employee on leave. The expectation is that the regular employee will be returning to his/her regular position in the future. The acting participant will return to his/her original role upon the return of the regular employee.
Acting indicates a ‘stop-gap’ as a momentary substitution due to health reasons or any other short-term reason. All “acting” appointments are temporary, short-term appointments. If it is determined the regular employee will not or cannot return to work, the position will be posted to begin the recruitment and selection process.
Acting appointments must be approved by HR Human Resources.
“Interim” Status
INTERIM status is defined as a position filled on a temporary basis while a search is being conducted, or a department/unit reorganization is taking place.
The regular open position is posted and a temporary replacement (interim) is selected for the role while the search continues for the permanent candidate. The normal recruitment process applies. The Talent Acquisition Specialist is the point of contact for assistance and guidance. The interim acts in full capacity until a candidate is selected for the position.
