Before Assignment
Before assigning a temporary employee, DTS completes pre-employment checks
and an orientation to Duke.
DTS employment representatives interview potential candidates for temporary
assignments and perform the following pre-employment checks:
- Court record check, including government sanction checks
- DMV checks, verification of licenses/certifications, health screens, substance abuse screen, typing test and/or software testing (when required)
- Minimum of two references (one must be last or current supervisor), which will be shared with the department
- Local Durham County court record check prior to hire; after hire, we conduct an out of Durham County court record check. If the out of Durham County court record check does not pass, DTS will terminate employment.
- Note: Some positions, particularly with JCAHO requirements, require
completion of the out of Durham County court record check before the
temporary employee can begin work
DTS will also conduct an orientation to Duke, provide parking information, and
distribute a form that will allow employees to obtain an ID badge. You will want to
provide a department-specific orientation when your temporary arrives on the first day.
CHECKLIST -- Before Your Temporary Employee Arrives
- Alert co-workers that a temporary employee has been requested and will be
working with them. Explain why temporary help is needed and what work this
employee will be doing.
- Designate a department staff member as the temporary employee's key
department contact.
- Prepare the physical work area the temporary employee will be working in.
Ensure it has all the needed material and that the equipment is in good working
condition.
- If applicable, create a computer log-on ID for the temporary employee.
- It would be helpful to have available sample copies of letters, proposals,
memo formats, or any other type of documents with which the temporary employee
will be working.
- Be able to provide a list of names/titles and job responsibilities of the
employees the temporary employee will be working with as well as frequently
needed telephone numbers or extensions.
