Classification of New Positions/Existing Vacant Positions For Recruitment
For each new career position and limited appointment position for which a recruitment is to be conducted, Human Resources classifies the position. To initiate the classification process for new positions, Position Descriptions should be submitted with the Employee Requisition form to Human Resources in accordance with the internal routing procedures of the particular organizational unit.
A master Position Description may be established for one (1) position filled by more than one (1) employee. Human Resources will work with the supervisor to ensure position definition and required competencies, skills, abilities and knowledge are appropriate. Additional information on submitting a new position for classification can be obtained from UCR Local Procedure 36 – Classification of Positions.
Classification of Contract Positions
Contract appointments are normally associated with projects that have a specific ending date; typically one year or less; and established at a fixed or variable percentage of time. Contracts may be established for non-represented positions in either the Professional and Support Staff (PSS) program or Managers and Senior Professionals (MSP) program. Additional information on establishing a contract appointment can be obtained from UCR Local Procedure 3 – Types of Appointments.
Classification of UC Student Employees
UC student employment is a means of providing additional financial support to students in pursuit of their educational and career objectives. To be a student employee, one must be enrolled at a UC campus (the minimum number of units varies by campus). The exception is during the quarter and semester following a student’s graduation or in between enrolled quarters/semesters when a student does not need to be enrolled (see below for possible impacts). A location may also allow student employees to take one quarter or semester off and retain their student employment. Additional information on definitions and establishing the appropriate classification can be found here.

Classification of Non-UC Student Employees
Non-UC student employment is a means of providing additional financial support to students attending school outside of UC in pursuit of their educational and career objectives. To be a Non-UC student employee, one would be enrolled in high school or college or school for special needs students at an institution outside of UC.
