POLICY STATEMENT:

The Office of Human Resources (HR) of Kentucky State University (KSU) will review new hires to verify that employees are properly classified based upon the definitions contained within this policy. HR will ensure that employees receive the appropriate benefits based upon their classifications. Supervisors are responsible for verifying that each employee fulfills his or her obligations of meeting the hours required for each position.

EMPLOYEE CLASSIFICATIONS:

Intermittent Employees

KSU hires intermittent employees for specific assignments on an as-needed and non-benefited capacity. KSU only pays intermittent employees for the actual time worked, and there is no guarantee of the amount of work needed. Intermittent work for retirees of KSU is also subject to the rules of the KERS and KTRS retirement systems, and abiding by those restrictions is the responsibility of the employee.

Full-Time Employees

Full-time employees are employees who are continuously assigned to work a minimum of 37.5 hours per week
