Part Time Employment

Short-term or part-time positions which are rated as Physical Class 1 or 2, such as Student Worker, do not require a pre-placement medical examination. Instead, after an offer of employment is made by the appointing department, the essential job duties of the position should be explained, and the applicant asked to complete a Work Status Questionnaire. Based upon the applicant’s responses, the department may immediately start the individual to work without restrictions, or make reasonable accommodations which will allow the individual to perform the essential job duties of the position.

The Work Status Questionnaire does not contain medical information, and therefore, should be retained in the future employee's personnel file. These no longer need to be forwarded to the OHP.
