Note for applicants whose primary SHSU job assignment is considered or becomes that of an “essential employee.” Essential employees must comply with the request of their supervisors to serve when needed as described in policy FO-PAY-35. As such an employee deemed essential, must put the duties of their primary assignment above that of any special event assignment (should an essential need arise that conflicts with a special event).
