The new policy changes for Non-exempt Temps and LHTs will go into effect on 3/4/19. Temps may continue to work a 13-week assignment, or up to 26 weeks if covering for an employee on an approved leave with a right to reinstatement.
However, LHTs will only be allowed to work a maximum of 14 hours per week, down from the less than 17.5 hours previously allowed. Although PeopleSoft will continue to allow you to hire a LHT at less than 17.5 hours per week, they may not work more than 14 hours per week. The system will be updated in Release 53 in May to reflect this change. If a LHT works more than 14 hours per week beginning 3/4/19, this will be a violation of the policy.
Harvard Retirees and current Harvard Students continue to be excluded from the limitations on Temp assignment length and may continue to work less than 17.5 hours as a LHT.
