Job Sharing Procedure
The purpose of job sharing is to meet the needs of a department and/or the University as well as the changing work/life balance needs of University employees where two part-time (.50 FTE) employees may be warranted to fulfill the workload of a full-time (1.0 FTE) position.
Managers and supervisors may determine, on a case-by-case basis, that a 1.0 FTE line may be filled by two part-time positions (.50 FTE each). Managers are asked to carefully assess the merits of this arrangement as two employees may be impacted by this arrangement.

- The appropriate higher-level supervisor(s) shall approve such request.
- Managers shall complete a Recruitment Request form through OASys and indicate on the form that it is a job-sharing recruitment.
- The position shall be advertised as “Part-time: Job–sharing”.
- Successful candidates shall meet the minimum requirements for the positions.
- The selected new hires shall receive benefits appropriate to part-time employment (pro rata annual and sick leave accrual; health and life benefits with premiums appropriate to part-time employee)
