Tufts Temps has created one standardized process to manage all temporary services and includes currently used agency contractors. Tufts Temps allows for a larger sourcing strategy for temporary help in all categories/levels of workers and uses one system to request, source and manage engagements, called Smart Track. Managers who have not already registered to use the Tufts Temps service can do so by completing the Expense Authorization Form. The completed form should be submitted to TuftsTemps@tufts.edu. Managers will enter new requests for contingent workers into Smart Track. Active workers of third-party service providers will begin logging their time and expenses in the Smart Track tool and Tufts University managers will approve them in the same system. Finally, billing will be managed through the Smart Track tool through report dashboards available. Attached please find a User Guide for Smart Track to help you navigate the system. This User Guide can also be accessed on Tufts’ Skillport site. For more specialized training requests, please contact the Tufts Temps Help Desk at TuftsTemps@tufts.edu. For more information about hiring temporary workers and/or Tufts Temps, please visit FAQs about hiring temporary workers.In April 2018, a block was placed on PCards so that they can no longer be used to pay for Temp Help. If you had a Temp at that time and were paying via pCard, please contact John Homich in Purchasing to determine how payment can be made going forward (create an eReq and pay invoices via AP or transition the Temp to the TuftsTemps system). Note: Agency Temps are not eligible to receive a Tufts credit card (Travel or Pcard) and they can't access Tufts Temps system. However they can obtain access to other systems such as EREQ, Marketplace, PeopleSoft and Apptricity as long as they are set up as a Financial POI {done through a new hire PAF}. Visit the
forms page for applications.
