Temporary Employees
Welcome! Whether you are just starting to explore temporary employment opportunities, or you are a successful applicant who has been selected for a temporary position with the Forest Service, this web-based guide is built for you.
The Temporary New Hire Onboarding Guide explains the onboarding process, highlights the steps you need to take to keep your onboarding process moving forward, and provides helpful information about resources and potential benefits for which you may qualify. The onboarding process can take approximately 60-days from the time you are selected for a position until you report to work.
In Phase 4, you will find information about how your temporary employment with the Forest Service can potentially position you to have non-competitive temporary rehire rights in future years and be eligible to compete for future permanent jobs!
