New Appointment Requirements for Current Employees

Congratulations on your continued employment with UCSC!

When hiring current UC Santa Cruz employees into a new position, we do our very best to avoid a break in service. If we are able to hire a current employee without a break in service, we process the hire as an Intraloction Transfer (Action hire), which simplifies the hiring requirements and allows the employee to forgo our regularly scheduled new/re-hire orientation. If we are not able to avoid a break in service, UCSC employees will be treated as re-hires and will be required to participate in an orientation session on or before their first day of work.

PLEASE NOTE: Most current student employees or academic personnel moving into a new staff position will be required to attend a formal new/rehire orientation, depending on the type of appointment. For those not required, but who have not attended orientation in many years, or will be opting-in to benefits for the first time, attending an orientation presentation may be a valuable use of time. Please see more information about new employee orientation.

Employment Paperwork
As mentioned above, employees that have a break in service will need to complete their employment paperwork at an orientation session with Talent Acquisition. For employees that will not have a break between appointments, signed employment paperwork is due within one week of the established hire date, although best practice is to complete by the end of the employee’s first day. Upon acceptance of the formal job offer, Talent Acquisition will reach out via email with instructions on how to complete the employments paperwork via DocuSign.

For more information regarding the Intralocation Transfer hire process, feel free to contact the Talent Acquisition office at hiring@ucsc.edu.
