In Workday, a "Contingent Worker" in the context of higher education refers to a non-employee individual who is contracted to work on a project-based or short-term basis to fulfill specific needs within the university system, such as:
- Affiliate Faculty
- Affiliate Staff
- Chaplain
- Consultant
- Contingent Worker - Finance (for Expense Reporting)
- Emeritus
- Post Doctoral Fellow
- ROTC Staff
- Temp Agency Hire
- Visiting/Exchange Faculty
- Volunteer.
An existing employee cannot be a Contingent Worker.
If an existing employee needs to have an affiliate relationship, an Academic Appointment can be added to their record.
When the contingent worker cannot be found via search in Workday, or the contingent worker or position does not exist in Workday, Managers and Department Admins can use this form to request the addition of a new contingent worker in Workday.
