Contingent Employment Opportunities
Department: Human Resources
Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Occupying full and part time positions at many different levels, contingent employees are brought in for non-standard employment arrangements. Contingent employees can be placed in any department across campus. Positions encompass long and short-term special projects; grant work, substitution for employees on leave, and increased needs cyclically due to the school schedule. Employees working specifically when classes are in session may also be contingency employees due to their non-standard employment schedule.
GRCC continually accepts applicants for a variety of positions, establishing a pool of candidates to review when vacancies become available.
Positions that may be filling in for an FMLA leave, or working on a specific limited project within a department will fall into the Contingency group. Employees in this group may only work up to 12 weeks and up to 40 hours per week depending on the department's needs. After the 12 week period has ended, the employee must have a break in employment of at least 26 weeks between assignments.
No benefit other than mandated payroll taxes and State retirement benefits will be provided.
Professional Service: No Benefit Employees
Positions that are scheduled to work less than 28 hours per week and more than 12 weeks will fall into the Professional Service: No Benefit group.
Professional Services: Limited Benefits Employees

Contingents are employed on an at-will basis and have the right to terminate their employment at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason. Likewise, Grand Rapids Community College retains the same rights.
