City of Greensboro Personnel Policy Manuał
Temporary (Roster) Employee Pay
Number: D-17
Revision: 1
Effective Date: 09-01-2013
1.0 POLICY
Many departments in the City of Greensboro have needs for temporary (roster) personnel.
Departments that require such services generally recruit temporaries on an as-needed basis
or use a temporary staffing agency.
2.0 PURPOSE
Hiring ranges are established to help ensure that the City is able to attract the applicants
necessary to quickly fill temporary positions. The hourly rates for temporary personnel shall
be determined in a fair and systematic manner consistent with the type of work required to be
performed and the nature of the temporary assignment.
3.0 SCOPE
This policy applies to all non-benefitted positions on the City’s payroll system.
4.0 DEFINITIONS
4.1 Hiring Range - The hiring range will be advertised from the salary range minimum up to
the Control Point.
4.2 Temporary (Roster) Position - An appointment for a limited term or limited number of
hours. Positions that are considered temporary assignments for the purposes of this policy are
roster, seasonal temporary, or special project. Employees appointed to a temporary position
receive salary plus mandated benefits only.
5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL RULES
5.1 It is the responsibility of the departments to assure that temporary positions are properly
classified based on the required duties and responsibilities. When new or unusual temporary
positions are created, the classification assignments should be confirmed with Human Resources.
5.2 Normally, new temporary employees will be appointed at the entry rate of the temporary pay
range. Experience, prior service, slight differences in the job, or limited availability of applicants
may warrant a higher entry rate, which may be offered at the Department Head’s discretion.
5.3 In some cases, temporary employees may work abbreviated schedules but return on an annual
or seasonal basis. In accordance with the annual merit increase guidelines, and with approval of
the Department Head, individual rates of pay may be adjusted to recognize performance, length of
service, a particular skill, or other factors that would warrant a rate increase.
