Once a position description is created, the general timeline for hiring a new staff is four to eight weeks; the range will depend on the type of position. For additional information, please refer to the UHR website.
Since faculty and P&S staff have multiple responsibilities, it is not advisable to charge 100% of salary to a sponsored award (grant worktag). A best practice for full-time pay for a month or more is to charge no more than 90% to a sponsored award (grant worktag) while 10% is charged to a non-sponsored fund account – allowing time for service on committees, teaching, departmental meetings, and other university activities.
