The University uses Special Payroll for certain types of short term, temporary, seasonal, and, part-time professional staffing needs. Temporary services typically involve less than six months of continuous employment. At UConn, Special Payroll is governed by two statutory sources: CGS10a-20 and CGS10a-108(a) governing the appointment of professional staff at the University. For more details please reference the Special Payroll Policy.
