Description
Columbia Basin College ("CBC" or the "College") seeks to develop a pool of applicants for Temporary Hourly (Skilled Hourly) positions. CBC employs temporary employees to meet short-term and intermittent workload needs. Temporary hourly employees have non-student status and are defined as those staff employees not occupying a budgeted line position (an appointed position) and are temporary, at-will employees.
Temporary hourly positions are exempt from the Higher Education Personnel rules and are limited to one (1) appointment at CBC; and must not work 1050 hours or more in any twelve (12) consecutive month period from the original date of hire, whichever is met first. The length of employment and the number of hours worked per week are undetermined and may be continued or terminated based on funding, workload fluctuations, etc. There is no contract or guarantee of continued employment.
CBC accepts applications for temporary hourly positions on an ongoing basis, though it does not necessarily imply that there are immediate openings. Applicants who meet the minimum required qualifications and submit a complete application with all required components will become part of a standing pool which the College will draw on as department/scheduling needs dictate.
Pay Range: $19.50 - $19.50 per hour.
