Pay a temporary employee you've already found (MITemps)

Short-term hires are engaged through the MITemps program, managed by our vendor partner, nextSource. This provides a cost-effective, efficient way of onboarding and managing this population of the MIT workforce.

How to use MITemps
  • Use VNDLY to request, hire, manage, and approve time for all your MITemps temporary staffing needs. Please submit your request at least 3-7 business days in advance of when you need the worker to start.

     VNDLY

    You can sign in using Single Sign On (SSO) through MIT Touchstone. MITemps hiring managers do not need a password.

Extending or ending employment of a temporary employee

  • For temporary employees employed through a vendor partner, MIT managers work with the company to end, extend, or otherwise change a temporary employee's assignment with MIT. The company will communicate directly with the temporary employee.
  • If the individual is authorized to work onsite, DLCIs must end authorized access at the end of the temporary employee's engagement.
