If during the term of the temporary appointment the department anticipates the position extending beyond one year, then an affirmative action search must be completed as soon as possible and no later than within one year of the start of the initial temporary appointment. An affirmative action search also must be completed in the event that a temporary appointment of less than 50 percent is increased to 50 percent or more time and is expected to extend beyond the initial one-year temporary appointment. Contact the Office of Affirmative Action for more information about search procedures.
