The University System of Georgia has established employee categories (types of employees and types of employment) to identify persons who are employed by the University System of Georgia. The types of employees and types of employment are used to determine benefits eligibility and applicability of Board of Regents policy, as well as ensure accuracy in reporting based on employee and employment type.
