SUBJECT:

Temporary Employment Services Point of Contact

Effective February 17, 1998, Temporary Employment Services (TES) will
become the point of contact for all temporary staff needs on the UCSD
campus. Thus, all requests for temporary help will need to be made via
TES by calling 534-4604. The new process is being implemented to ensure
that consistent service standards are provided in placing all temporary
staff help and to ensure that UCSD is in compliance with its Affirmative
Action obligations as a federal contractor. Additionally, the new
service model will enable TES to verify that a thorough screening process
has been conducted on each prospective employee.

The process for requesting a temporary employee will require just one
phone call to TES. In the event TES cannot fill a job request or if a
department is interested in using an external temporary service, the TES
Placement Coordinator will remain the contact for the job request. TES
will follow up with the outside agency for status information, relaying
the information back to the requesting department. Once a temporary
employee is designated for assignment, TES will ensure that the
individual has been thoroughly screened and is qualified for the position
and that "good faith" Affirmative Action efforts are made.

To help support the TES effort and the campus' need for qualified
temporary personnel, UCSD has established favorable agreements with two
local external temporary agencies. These agencies were selected as a
result of a competitive solicitation which included detailed
specifications to ensure excellent services. One of the conditions of
our new contracts specifies that the agencies comply with the Express
Order method of ordering and billing. As such, when departments place an
order for temporary employee services with TES, an index number and buyer
code will be requested.

While TES will be processing the orders for all temporary personnel,
Purchasing will be monitoring these contracts and is ultimately
responsible for contract compliance. Questions regarding personnel
availability and personnel issues should be directed to Kim Ayoub,
Manager, TES, at 534-3518 or via electronic mail to kayoub@ucsd.edu.
Questions that are contractual in nature should be directed to Kaye
Cavanaugh at 534-6286 or via electronic mail to kcavanaugh@ucsd.edu. For
