As a follow-up to our initial communication around the introduction of a hiring pause in late March, we have reassessed our need for this pause and have determined that it will remain in effect at this time.  As a reminder, the hiring pause process applies to all state-supported and unrestricted non-state-supported (auxiliary,  DRIF, revolving)  exempt, non-exempt, and contingent I and II  positions.  The hiring pause does not apply to graduate assistants, students, faculty or 100 percent restricted funded (i.e., grants and contracts) positions.   

 The hiring exception request process remains in place for those departments with a critical need at this time. Further information on the pause can be found at:  https://hr.umbc.edu/hiring-pause/.

 Human Resources will continue to reassess the need to maintain a hiring pause and you will receive another update in early June, 2020.
