DTS Support and Responsibilities

Temporary employee efficiencies can be obtained through effective recruiting, orientation, training and support.  These processes foster shorter learning curves and may help to reduce your department's overall costs.

Orientation

All temporary employees receive a customized employee handbook and basic orientation that includes information on timecard procedures, dress code, basic safety, and guidelines.

Employee Testing and Training Programs

DTS and its network of suppliers are able to provide you with qualified temporary employees who have been evaluated on the use of the Windows operating system for computers and the most commonly used software applications.  We are able to match our temporary employees' skills and experience to your department's requirements.  

Changing an Assignment

Any significant changes in job duties or description, particularly those that may involve health and/or safety implications or job level, must be communicated to your DTS or Kelly representative. Since all employees are selected according to their demonstrated ability to perform the duties of a specific job description, any new assignments must be discussed to ensure that the employee is capable and suited for the new, or different, duties.  Temporary employees are always encouraged to be flexible, but your DTS or Kelly representative should be contacted prior to any significant changes in the responsibilities of temporary employees. 

Ending an Assignment

When the services of a temporary employee are no longer required, for any reason, it is the hiring manager's responsibility to notify the DTS or Kelly representative, so that the employee can be advised of the discontinuation of the assignment. Exceptions to this practice should be reviewed and determined by DTS.  DTS or Kelly, as the legal employer, has the responsibility for informing employees of assignment terminations.   

Hiring Temporary to Regular Staff

Any employee of DTS, Kelly, or an approved secondary supplier can be hired as a regular employee by Duke after a specified number of days or hours on assignment. It is important that a diverse candidate pool be presented for consideration and a regular job vacancy announcement be on file. Conversion rates for Kelly and approved secondary suppliers are based on annualized salary and days of service. Please contact your DTS or Kelly representative to discuss conversion rates associated with hiring a temporary employee.
