Hiring Part-time Staff and Adjunct Faculty

All candidates offered a position at Rhode Island College are subject to a national pre-employment background check. Employment is contingent upon the completion and review of a successful background check. 

Hiring Part-time Staff on the Monthly Payroll

Please Note: The Monthly Payroll Hiring Authorization Employment (MP) Form serves to authorize part-time work assignments on the College Monthly Payroll for temporary employees that are not current RIC students. A fully approved MP form is required prior to the start of the assignment and new hires must complete hiring forms with the Office of Human Resources prior to the start of work.

1. The hiring supervisor or Principal Investigator (PI) is required to complete all information in Part I of the MP Form and sign and date the form. The form must include a justification for hiring and description of the job duties to be performed including required job qualifications on page 3 of the form.
2. The individual that is being recommended for hire for this part-time assignment is required to complete all information in Part II and sign and date the form and return it to hiring supervisor or PI.
3. The supervisor or PI is responsible for acquiring the approval and signature of the Academic Department Chair/Staff Director and Dean/AVP in Part III of the form and for sending the signed form to the Office of Human Resources (HR) at humanresources@ric.edu. HR will review the assignment for approval.
4. Once the supervisor or PI receives the fully approved copy of the MP form from HR, the employee may begin the assignment. No employee may begin their assignment unless the supervisor has received a copy of the monthly hiring authorization form with full approvals.

Please reference the full list of terms and conditions located on the Monthly Payroll Hiring Authorization Employment (MP) Form. For questions regarding the MP hiring process, please email Greg Stewart in the HR Office. For payroll related questions, please email the Payroll Office. 

Hiring Part-time Adjunct Faculty
