Temporary Employment Services (TES)

Temporary Employment Services is the division of Human Resources responsible for providing temporary staffing to departments on campus, at UC San Diego Medical Center, Thornton Hospital, and the Veterans Administration Medical Center.

New and existing employees are rotated throughout the campus community on job placements that vary in length from a half-day to several months. TES manages all financial operations associated with the unit including payroll and recharges to customer departments.

If you would like to request a temporary employee, see the Temporary Employee Information for Hiring Departments page for more information

For information about background checks, online reference checks, and skills assessment services visit Talent Support Services.

Temporary Employees

Temporary employees fill the need for substitutes when regular employees are ill or on vacation, vacancies exist, or additional help is required when the workload unexpectedly surpasses current staffing levels.
