Policy
and Procedures for the
UGA Present Employee
Priority (PEP) application process
Revised
March 14, 2005
Purpose
The
University of Georgia is committed to providing career opportunities
for incumbent staff members. One way the Human Resources Division
provides assistance with career advancement is by incorporating
procedures to allow incumbent UGA employees an opportunity to
be referred to job vacancies before the position is opened for
recruiting to the general public. The following policy and procedure
statements address the manner in which this process can be accomplished.
Policy
At
the discretion of the employing unit, a classified vacancy announcement
may be designated as a PEP position for a minimum duration of
five business days. A PEP position is defined by the fact that
applications from only current, qualified UGA employees will
be referred to that position to constitute the applicant pool.
All PEP applicants must be referred through established Employment
Department procedures. If the employing unit identifies a successful
candidate from this pool, no additional recruiting is required.
However, after the minimum five business-day PEP period, if no
UGA applicant has been selected, the position may be reopened
by the employing unit for recruiting the general public for a
minimum of five additional business days. A PEP position will
automatically be placed on hold at the end of the PEP-period.
UGA applicants may continue to apply during the open period.
Student employees, do not qualify for PEP positions.
Procedures
The decision
to list a vacancy as a PEP position rests with the employing unit. PEP
positions must be identified at the time the position is initially posted.
Use the online
position posting form to post your position with the Employment
Department. Please be aware of the current
hiring process.
If a position is identified as being in a job group in which
minorities or females are statistically underutilized, it is
the responsibility of the employing unit to monitor the pool
and recruit accordingly.
If you have questions
about PEP procedures, e-mail employ@uga.edu
or call the Employment Department at (706)
542-2222.
