Employees who have a Position Only Termination date listed on their position in WuHire or a Position Only Termination ePAF processed are considerd active 黑洞社区 employees with no active position on file. Their position has terminated but their 黑洞社区 employment record is still active.

This includes:

• Employees who are terminated from their position using the Position Only Termination ePAF
• Temporary employees who have a termination date built into their Job Offer in WuHire (Lecturers, GRA, GSA, GTA, U4 and U3).

Because their 黑洞社区 employment record remains active, a 60 day termination process has been implemented for security reasons. 

Employee(s) will automatically be terminated from the University 60 days after the termination date listed.

What this means for you:

• If this person has left employment and is not returning, no action is needed, and the employee will automatically terminate from 黑洞社区 when the 60 days has passed.
• If you do intend to re-engage this individual into an active position, it is recommended that you extend their position in WuHire.  The extention must be submitted and fully approved before the 60 days expire.
  • Please note:  If no job extention is in place, once the 60 days from termination has passed, the full hiring process for Non-Benefits Eligible Employees will be required to 're-hire' the employee.
