Staff Appointment Type, October 2004 to 2008
Appointment status refers to whether a staff employee is career, non-career or employed as a student. Hours of work help to define the category of a staff appointment and determine the terms and conditions of employment, which includes the benefit package.
While the majority (66 percent) of staff is in career appointments, non-career appointments (12 percent) fill critical roles in UC's hospitals, in temporary positions and in helping to accommodate workload fluctuations.
Student employment is doubly important. It helps many campus departments accomplish essential tasks while providing the student employee with an income while enrolled at the University. Students comprise 22 percent of the staff work force. Student employment opportunities are specifically reserved for UC students and have limited hours to allow for the student's class schedule.
Staff work force growth has been modest over the time period 2004-08, averaging 2.6 percent.

The “non-career” category includes five appointment types: casual, per diem, partial year career, floater and contract. The numbers shown here are the headcount at the ten campuses, five medical centers, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Office of the President. These numbers do not include academic staff or staff at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Students include casual/restricted appointments only and exclude students working in academic titles.
