Short-Term Professional Form Instructions

Purpose

This form is used to hire, rehire, or change the monthly payment of an active, exempt, short-term professional temporary employee. All new short-term professionals must complete a Personal Data Form, an I-9 Form, and a W4 Form. If you are rehiring a short-term professional, check to see if the person needs to complete a personal data form to update address or personal data. An I-9 form is required, also, if the person has not worked at the University recently. 

Note: to pay additional compensation to an active regular, monthly paid, employee, please submit an  Additional Pay Form.
Helpful Hints
  • Submission of this form allows for the short-term professional employee to receive either:
  1. a single lump sum payment; or

  2. two or more consecutive monthly payments for a period up to one year without resubmission of additional forms.

  • Section II, Monthly Payment Information, details both the monthly payment and the total amount to be paid for the work period. Payments are automatic until the termination date, at which time the short-term professional will be terminated.
  • If the entire payment is to be charged to only one account, you do not need to complete the column titled 2nd Account.
  • Pay attention to monthly payroll deadlines.
