The Academic Personnel Office (APO) and Berkeley Regional Services (BRS) Human Resources have collaborated to clarify the guidelines regarding Bridging and Grace Periods with the goal of minimizing impacts for student hire onboarding. These guidelines have been reviewed and input gathered from Central HR, Office of General Counsel (OGC), Graduate Division, Contracts and Grants Accounting (CGA), RAs, Budget Office, Controller’s Office, and various department units. Here are details you need to know:
What is staying the same:
-
Student employees will continue receive pay on their next available MO pay cycle.
-
In order to keep in compliance with I-9 legal requirements, a new hire should NOT begin working until they successfully complete onboarding.
-
No more recalculations are required to ensure students are eligible for fee remissions.
-
Employees will be paid via a retroactive pay process for all time worked prior to onboarding in the next available MO cycle payment.
-
The hire date on the I-9 will not drive the appointment start date in HCM.
