LAUC Mini-Grant Awards often allow a librarian to hire assistants to help with the funded project.  If your grant involves hiring assistants, here are tips to keep in mind:

• Contact Library Human Resources to discuss your needs FIRST - Pat Hawthorne, Araceli Bermudez, or Terry Leonard can provide advice and assistance.
• Define the job you want done.  Write a job description.
• Work with Library Human Resources to assign the appropriate classification, title code, and salary/hourly rate for the job.
• Identify the type of hire - student employee, UC/UCLA employee, non-UC/UCLA individual, etc.
• Make sure Library Business Services has set up the account for your mini-grant so that the individual can be paid.
• Do NOT allow the individual to start work until Library Human Resources has completed processing the hire.
