Process for hiring OPS employees

For questions contact Tom Gregory at (727)341-3232.

 

  1. Applicant must complete the On-Line OPS employment application prior to being considered for temporary employment. Applications are available on-line by using the following link: https://www1.spjc.edu/central/hr/application/index.php?job_cat=5&job_id=151 . Employment references must be conducted by the hiring supervisor prior to the decision to hire.

  2. Determine the appropriate hourly pay rate from the OPS salary schedule (http://www.spcollege.edu/central/hr/tempsal.htm#ops). Specific justification is required for intermediate and advanced pay rates relative to the criteria outlined on the OPS salary rate schedule.

  3. Complete the OPS Personnel Action Authorization Request form (OPS-PAAR) which can be accessed on the HR forms web site at- http://www.spcollege.edu/staffcentral/. Save the PAAR form on your computer files before submitting to HR.

  4. Submit the OPS PAAR form to Human Resources by clicking on the email address indicator located on the front of the PAAR form (your email will automatically open with the OPS PAAR mailbox address indicated). Attach the saved PAAR to the email and click on "send".

  5. The PAAR will be automatically sent to the OPS HR Processing staff members as well as the grants/budget departments.

  6. Schedule the OPS applicant for an orientation/payroll sign-up session at the District Office by emailing: gregoryt@spcollege.edu. These sessions are held Monday – Thursday from 9:00 am to 10:00 am in room 112 EpiCenter Services Building and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 – 6:00 in room 110 EpiCenter Services Building located at 14025 58th Street North, Largo.

  7. In situations where it is not possible for the candidate to attend one of these sessions, an individual session may be scheduled in the Human Resources Department by calling Tom Gregory at (727)341-3232 or email at gregoryt@spcollege.edu. Individual sessions may only be requested in extreme circumstances.

  8. PAARs will not be processed for payroll payment until the applicant has attended the orientation and completed all required payroll forms (sexual harassment policy review is included in the session). Applicants must bring identification (driver’s license etc. and social security card to this session to validate employment eligibility).

  9. Appropriate Cabinet supervisors must be copied on the emailed PAAR form. The PAAR will be considered "approved" for processing unless an email to the contrary is received from the designated cabinet member copied on the PAAR.

  10. HR will review completed OPS PAAR (reviewed for accuracy to include Job Code, GL Code, Pay Group, department number, and pay rate verification) and obtain HR authorization/signatures. Final cabinet signatures will be obtained each Monday at Cabinet.

  11. PAAR will be processed into the PeopleSoft HR system following the completion of the orientation session.
