Contingent Workers

What are Contingent Workers?

Non-Employee/Contingent Worker means all persons other than paid Employees, who are routinely on the UAMS campus and need a UAMS badge, data access, email, or library privileges in order to perform their functions. These may be Volunteers, Visiting Faculty, Academic Visitors, Contractors, Students, chaplains, or Employees of other agencies and companies.

Cross Company Affiliation

Workday does not allow individuals to have multiple Workday profiles at one time. If the worker is currently a CW or employee at another institution, then they will need to be set up with Cross Company Affiliation in order to access UAMS systems. CCA will allow the worker to be set up with system and badge access at UAMS. Unsure if your worker needs to be set up with CCA? Use the Worker Type Table to determine how the worker should be set up.
