Welcome to the Instructor, Director, and Contractor hiring process!

Platt House is happy to help you in obtaining professional services of professional instructors, writers, musicians, and directors. Please submit this form 6 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR INTENDED START DATE to request the hiring of Instructors or temporary Directors. Your selected Instructor or Director cannot do ANY work without approval from Penn's Department of Purchasing (via Platt House), returning their contract forms, and obtaining their signed letter of agreement.

Instructors and Directors are hired by the University with Laurie McCall as the representative. Therefore, they must be informed that technically they work for Penn and the Director of Platt Student Performing Arts House, even though your SAC budget pays for their work. Because the state of Pennsylvania recognizes Employment At Will, we reserve the right to deny hire, or to terminate an instructor at any time.

It is very difficult to hire individuals without US citizenship. If your desired instructor or director is not a citizen, the hiring process will be considerably extended by additional paperwork, and may be blocked by measures outside of Platt House's control.

Student performing groups under the advisement of Platt House have been granted waiver that our instructors do not require liability insurance like others at Penn. However, there is a stipulation: they must never be work alone with one student in a room. There must always be more than one student at all times.
Please be aware of professional protocol at all times. If you feel that your instructor is acting inappropriately, please report it to Platt House Staff immediately.

Timeline

This Hiring Form should be submitted at least 6 weeks in advance of the instructor's first lesson or rehearsal appearance. If they are not, it will delay the instructors start date and first pay check.

Upon receiving your Hiring Form submission, Platt House will seek approval by the Department of Purchasing and then send a contract and forms directly to the proposed Instructor or Director.

Contracted Instructors and Directors must return the forms to us within 10 days. Student groups are responsible for supervising the process by following up and making sure they complete their forms on time.

Payment occurs up to 6 weeks from the date of the returned contract.
