The designation "temporary employee" or "temporary staff" means someone who is hired by a staffing agency or another third party. Employees hired directly by MIT with a specified end date to their appointment – even if the appointment is very short -- are considered "term" employees.
For hiring non-MIT employees, MIT's preferred staffing agencies are ready to help when you need temporary staff to fill an opening. The agencies have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the MIT community and they have a long-standing history of providing quality talent at favorable, negotiated bill rates. In addition, if you decide to hire the temporary worker from one of their Office/Administrative Divisions as an MIT employee, the placement fees are waived. If you hire a temporary worker from one of their other divisions, placement fees are based on the number of days worked.
Hiring managers are strongly encouraged to conduct reference checks for temporary hires, particularly for MITemps and other temporary agency workers who have previously worked at MIT.

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.
Background Checks
All temporary staffing agencies are required to conduct pre-employment criminal background checks on temporary staff hired to work for MIT. When choosing to work with a non-preferred agency, you must ensure that the agency has conducted the background check. More on background checks.
