TOPS Program

  • Provide immediate temporary assistance to UCOP departments to complete special projects or substitute for career employees while on vacation, sick leave or during recruitment for a vacancy.
  • Assignments span all non-exempt clerical, secretarial, administrative and professional levels. Typically, classifications range from Administrative Assistant to Administrative Analyst.
  • Applicants have a minimum of one to two years administrative experience with excellent word processing skills (may include MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint or Access), excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and flexibility and reliability in job assignments.
  • TOPS staff checks work references and gives software tests on MS Word and Excel to all referred candidates. When required, background checks are conducted for critical positions.
  • TOPS employees are paid bi-weekly and pay rates are based on the classification of the position.
  • Classifications assigned for TOPS placements are covered under the CUE union contract for clerical positions, or the Personnel Policies for Staff Members for professional level positions.
  • TOPS positions are floater appointments since, by definition, the individuals are employed in a temporary employment pool. Length of appointments vary:
  • For positions covered under the CUE contract, TOPS floater appointees may work up to a maximum of 36 months, but not more than 1500 hours in the same assignment, in the same department, doing the same work in a 36-month period.
  • For positions covered under the Personnel Policies for Staff Members, a floater appointment may be established at any percent of full time for up to two years duration.
  • Benefits include sick leave, vacation leave, and holiday leave if they work more than 50% of the working hours in a month. They are eligible to receive CORE medical insurance if they average 17.5 hours per week.
