Job Order Portal
Temporary Solutions has been assisting state government with temporary staffing needs since 1986. Our mission is to serve the state exclusively and at a minimal cost, which is passed on to you, our customer. As part of the Office of State Human Resources, we understand the unique needs of state government. Our Placement Counselors are trained to assist you in identifying the most appropriate state job classification and associated pay range for each job placement.
We have migrated to Cognito forms, but are collecting the same information.

The supervisor should be the one responsible for approving time in the MSS system in BEACON.

If the temporary has been working for more than 11 months and extensions have been granted because they were able to supply the required documentation and the temporary graduates in May, they will be allowed to work only through the end of the month that they graduated. At that point, they will be required to take a 31-day break. This is the same for a December graduation. They would only be allowed to work through the end of December, then a 31-day break is required.
