Visitors & Affiliates

Navigating through UC, state, & federal laws and policies is difficult and confusing--especially when it comes to rules and restrictions related to Visitors, Affiliates, Volunteers, Interns, etc. This is especially true because, while all of these terms can be used interchangeably for a type of "unpaid learner," HR has very specific definitions for each group and each has its own set of rules, processes, and document requirements.

Please reference the Definitions & Cheat Sheets section if you would like to learn more about how these title codes are defined by HR Shared Services. If you have any questions or require assistance in determining what appointment type(s) apply to your candidate, please contact the HR Analyst with the candidate's CV/resume and she will help you determine the best route.
