The minimum age for employment with the Division is 16 years, with limitations on
days scheduled and hours worked. In positions requiring operation of power tools (e.g.,
weed eaters, chain saws) or heavy machinery (e.g., tractors, combines, and forklifts),

Screening Committees
Screening or search committees are only required for faculty and senior level administrator
positions. Committee membership should be approved in advance by the appropriate Senior
Associate Vice President and Compliance Officer to ensure that diversity initiatives
have been met.
Hiring Requests for Hard Funded positions
Prior to posting a job with hard funds, appropriate approvals must be obtained by
the Sr. AVP and Vice President for Agriculture. The approval process is now captured
within the job requisition in Workday.
For more details on the Hiring Request and how to complete it, please review the Hiring Request Quick Reference Guide.
Managers are encouraged to use the Lawful Inquiries form, Possible Interview Questions form, and Interview Notes template during the interview process.
Submit any interview notes to the Human Resources department after a hiring decision has been made. Interview records are kept on file for two years.
For additional interview tips or resources, contact Human Resources.
Limitations on Work Hours
Temporary and Extra Help (also called Seasonal) employees are limited to working 1500 hours in a fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) per Arkansas Code Ann. § 6-63-314.
Department timekeepers can track temporary employee hours using the RPT - Hourly Employees Fiscal YTD Hours Worked report in Workday by typing the report name in the Workday search tool on a regular
basis to ensure employees aren't nearing the maximum hours worked each fiscal year.
Hiring Resources
Managers or Employment Coordinators should use the Extra Help/Temporary Hiring Checklist to hire extra help/temporary employees. Managers or Employment Coordinators should
also review the Hiring Temporary Employees QRG prior to hiring for applicant instructions or other restrictions. The Temporary Employee Rate Chart provides hourly rates/ranges available for this fiscal year.
Extra Help/Temporary Hire Request Form
This form (CES use only) will require a brief job description, contact information,
anticipated pay rate, and the potential employee's resume/skill set. Once completed,
the request form will route to Human Resources to assist in determining the best position
to be used based on the job description and employee's experience level.
Contact Human Resources if you have additional questions, or need assistance in hiring
a temporary employee at humanresources@uada.edu
An applicant must have appropriate authorization by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services through the Form I-9 and E-Verify process to be eligible for employment. The I-9 form & E-Verify process is completed electronically in Workday by the employee and the appropriate Onboarding Partner.
If a hire is approved in Workday on the employee's first day or after, a paper Form I-9 form must be completed & the E-Verify process must be completed by going directly to the E-Verify web site (link below). In these cases, the Onboarding Partner will receive a To Do task in Workday to upload the paper I-9 form and E-Verify Case Details page.
For employees that are rehired (any break in service) a new I-9 task must be completed in Workday at the time of rehire, regardless if they have a completed document on file from previous employment.
For assistance in completing the I-9 & E-Verify process within Workday, use the I-9 with E-Verify Integration Quick Reference Guide.
To sign up for E-Verify as a user or for questions with an existing E-Verify account, contact Patricia Johnson in Human Resources at pjohnson@uada.edu or call 501-671-2010.
