As you may have read in the news media, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is cooperating with INS to insure that all foreign nationals are legally present in the country. The effect of this process on the University of Florida is that many of our newly arriving graduate assistants will not be assigned a social security number for up to 20 weeks. It is our hope that the assignment will not take this long. The Bureau of State Payrolls (BSOP) […]

University of Florida Coursework Because the University of Florida deeply values the education of its employees and strongly encourages its staff to pursue educational opportunities for professional growth and development, the pilot Employee Education Program (EEP), established for the 2001-2002 fiscal year, is being extended for the 2002-2003 fiscal year. This program is funded from limited existing university resources and is neither a term nor a condition of employment but a privilege given solely at the discretion of the university.

However, in order for the university to accomplish its goals, we have developed a mechanism to allow the appointment of new employees while they wait for their SSN to be issued. Temporary identification numbers will be used for internal payroll processing purposes until […]
