Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Intermittent
Positions: The Director of Personnel shall, as required to fulfill the
operating needs of a department, establish intermittent positions to perform
work seasonal in nature or to help in periods of increased workloads.
Intermittent positions shall not be established in lieu of permanent positions,
but intermittent employees may substitute for absent employees. Appointments
will be made to intermittent positions in the same manner as appointments to
other permanent positions.
b)
Limitations on Intermittent Employees: An intermittent employee will be subject
to the following limitations and conditions of employment, but will otherwise
be covered by the full benefits of Jurisdiction A, B and C:
1) Intermittents will work 800-1500 hours per
year (12 month period).
A) If, as a result of
timekeeping error or omission in reporting hours worked, it is determined that
an intermittent employee worked more than 1500 hours in the prescribed 12 month
period, the employee shall immediately be placed in inactive status until the
commencement of the next 12 month period, and the hours worked in the next 12
month period shall be reduced by the excess hours from the previous 12 month
period.
B) Intermittent employees
offered less than 800 hours of work in any prescribed 12 month period shall be
deemed suspended without cause and may grieve or appeal in accordance with the
applicable rules regarding suspensions.
2) There shall not be more than a 10%
variance in hours scheduled from the current work schedule of employees in the
same title and organizational unit in any 12-month period, unless approved by
the Director of Personnel. The Director will consider the operational needs of
the department before approving work schedule changes. Intermittent employees
whose schedules vary more than 10% may grieve or appeal the schedule changes.
An effort will be made to balance the hours worked among intermittent employees
of the same title within the same organizational unit.
3) The continuous service of an intermittent
employee shall be computed on the basis of hours worked, each 71/2 hours being
equivalent to one day.
4) An
intermittent employee shall accrue sick and vacation leave on a prorated basis,
dependent upon the amount of time in pay status during a given month.
5) Employees refusing to be scheduled 3 times
in one calendar quarter shall be considered for discharge for failure to
perform assigned duties, if given 24 hour notice of scheduling, unless proof of
illness or death in the family is presented.
c) Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to
prevent a legitimate reorganization to promote the efficiency of the agency. In
the event a reorganization temporarily precludes full compliance with this
Section, management shall have 6 months in which to revise its schedules in
order to bring the schedules into compliance.
d) An annual review of the intermittent
program will be made by the Director of Personnel to insure compliance with
this Part.
