Send out an SOS! We’ll deliver the talent.

The SOS Temporary Program is a resource for State agencies, boards, and commissions that need flexible, short term staffing solutions without the burden of managing the temporary hiring process.

Whether it’s a one day assignment or a role lasting up to a year, SOS helps connect agencies with the talent they need.

From leave coverage and special project support to increased workloads, internships, grant funded roles, or interim staffing while permanent positions are filled, SOS delivers dependable staffing support that helps keep your mission thriving and your productivity strong.

What Types of Temporary Employees Can Be Hired?

Most positions may be hired as temporary assignments, with assignments ranging from a single day to up to one year, depending on the needs of the position.

Temporary positions are covered by the Classified System Personnel Rules and are classified based on the work assigned. Position classification and pay are established in accordance with the State of Nebraska Classification and Pay Plan, and agencies are required to pay at least the minimum hourly rate for the applicable classification.

How the SOS Temporary Program Supports Your Agency

When you partner with SOS, we handle many of the employment-related responsibilities so your agency can focus on the work.

SOS handles:

• Recruiting and candidate sourcing
• Hiring and onboarding
• Payroll processing
• HR-related workplace matters

The agency is responsible for:

• Day-to-day supervision and management of the SOS employee
• Providing necessary computer, building, and other system access beyond Human Resources systems
• Providing the employee with job-specific direction, training, and resources needed to perform the assignment

Where Do SOS Candidates Come From?

SOS actively recruits candidates in the Lincoln area for our candidate pool. For positions in other locations or assignments with unique or specific requirements, we can recruit externally upon receiving an agency request.

Already have someone in mind? If your agency has identified a potential candidate, SOS may be able to hire that individual directly into a temporary position once eligibility requirements have been confirmed.

How Do I Request an SOS Temporary Employee?

Ready to get started? Contact your agency Human Resources team first. Generally, your agency HR/Talent Acquisition team will submit the request to SOS.

Once the request is submitted, SOS will work with your agency to determine the best approach for recruiting or identifying a qualified temporary employee.
