Add an Assignment (job) to an Employee or Direct Report

Disclaimer – Bronco Hub Job aids are currently transitioning to accessible WordPress pages. All current job aids are still available through Jobs Aids and Resources.

Who is this job aid for?

This job aid is for employees who need to add a concurrent job (additional assignment) to an employee or direct report with an active assignment in Bronco Hub.

Note: The Add an Assignment action is only applicable for temporary non-benefit eligible employees. Do not add an assignment for a salaried, benefit eligible employee. If a salaried employee is completing work beyond their regular duties and needs additional compensation, follow the instructions on the Add Individual Compensation Plan (ICP) – Perceptive Form.

Below are examples of when you might request additional compensation /supplemental pay for salaried employees (NOT ADD ASSIGNMENT) whose responsibilities and temporary assignment(s) go beyond their regular duties:

  • Additional assignments and activities such as those sponsored by the Division of Extended Studies, like the Osher Institute or concurrent enrollment duties,
  • Specially approved work on a University-administered sponsored project,
  • Special projects assigned as additional duties,
  • Teaching additional classes that are not part of Regular Duties on an exceptional basis.

Additional responsibilities and assignments of a long term or permanent nature may be considered justification for adjustment of the employee’s institutional Base Salary rather than justification for Supplemental Pay compensation. If you have questions about a specific scenario, email HRProcessor@boisestate.edu with details about what you’re trying to accomplish.

Add Assignment to Student Position

If you are adding an assignment for a student position, you must submit the additional assignment by following the Hire a Student Employee instructions. Do not continue with the instruction below.

Add Assignment to Existing Graduate Assistant Position

If the employee is currently a GA and you want to add an assignment for a second position, you need to get approval from the graduate college before continuing.

  3. Graduate College if the transaction includes job codes: 49120, 49110, 49111, 49181, 49180
  4. Human Resources
  5. College / Division is the last approval
  6. Provost if the person being transacted upon is faculty

If other individuals need to be included in the approval workflow (e.g. Principal Investigator for grant funded transactions) the funding source manager must add the approvers as an AdHoc action.

Important Note

If the employee being transacted upon is not a faculty member, the name of the initiator will display as the last approver in the approval workflow. The initiator does not need to approve the transaction, Bronco Hub will automatically approve after all other approvals have been completed.

What options are there to follow up on the action after it’s submitted?

The action initiator (submitter) can follow up on (e.g. view approval information) the submitted action by locating it in the initiated tasks section of the Worklist.
