Add an Assignment to an Existing Employee
Important Notes:
Additional Assignments are only applicable for temporary non-benefit eligible employees. Do not add an assignment for a salaried, benefit eligible employee. If a salaried employee is completing work beyond their regular duties and needs additional compensation, follow the instructions outlined in Add Individual Compensation (supplemental pay). Example scenarios involving salaried employees and additional compensation are outlined in the section below.
Additional assignments for Classified Employees: While classified employees can be hired into adjunct positions, there are rare occasions when an existing benefit eligible employee would be hired into a temporary secondary job. If you are attempting to hire an existing benefit eligible employee into a temporary position, call (208) 426-1616 or email hrprocessor@boisestate.edu to consult with an HR Processor before initiating the hire.
Additional assignments for student positions: If you are adding an assignment for a student position, you must submit the additional assignment by following the hire a student employee instructions linked here.
Additional assignment to an existing employee to hire them into a GAship, proceed with the steps outlined in this job.
If the employee is currently hired as a non-GA and you want to add an assignment for a GAship, you need to get approval from the Graduate College before continuing.
When adding a permanent concurrent assignment to an active employee, you will also need to calculate their hourly rate using the Hourly/Salary/Fringe Calculator provided by Human Resources.
The Employee ID is required when submitting an additional assignment in Bronco Hub. If needed, follow these instructions to request or verify the Employee ID for the individual you’re hiring into a secondary position.
Example scenarios: when to request additional compensation / supplemental pay for salaried employees whose responsibilities and temporary assignment(s) go beyond their regular duties:
Additional assignments and activities such as those sponsored by the Division of Extended Studies, like the Osher Institute or concurrent enrollment duties,
Specially approved work on a University-administered sponsored project,
Special projects assigned as additional duties,
Teaching additional classes that are not part of Regular Duties on an exceptional basis.
Additional responsibilities and assignments of a long term or permanent nature may be considered justification for adjustment of the employee’s institutional Base Salary rather than justification for Supplemental Pay compensation. If you have questions about a specific scenario, email HRProcessor@boisestate.edu with details about what you’re trying to accomplish.
