CONDITIONS OF APPOINTMENT
Special Consultant appointments are approved for the dates, daily rate, and total number of days specified in this
agreement only. Any changes in the period of employment, the daily rate, or the total number of days authorized must be
submitted on a new agreement form and approved by the Vice President for Human Resources. Significant changes in
the actual assignment will also require a revised agreement form.
Special Consultant appointments automatically expire at the end of the period stated and do not establish consideration
for subsequent appointments.
In the event the assignment as described on the face of this agreement form is not completed or is not completed in a
satisfactory manner, the University reserves the right to cancel this appointment or to reduce the total number of days for
which payment will be made.
This contract must be signed by the Dean/Program Administrator and approved by the Vice President for Human
Resources before any work may begin.
Current CSU employees who accept additional employment as Special Consultant are subject to Additional Employment
Policy of the California State University (FSA 82-20) or the applicable Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), all of which
limit total employment within the CSU to a maximum of 125% of full-time.
PAYROLL SIGN-IN AND IRCA VERIFICATION
New employees (consultants) or those who have had a break in service of six months or more must complete an oath of
allegiance and a W-4 form in Payroll Services, Sacramento Hall 161. In order to establish identity and work authorization
under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), all new consultants or those who have had a break in
service are required to bring the documents listed below to HR Payroll Services, Sacramento Hall 161. The documents
must be presented within three (3) working days of the initial date of appointment or on the first day of employment if the

REQUIRED TIME SHEETS AND PAYMENT PROCESS
Special Consultants are paid a daily rate for each day worked. An approved time sheet will be required before any
