The time-limited appointment must be at least six months but less than two years. The appointment may be extended up to one additional year upon written justification by the supervisor and approved by the Department of Human Resource Services. A time-limited employee has the same rights as a permanent employee and is eligible for performance pay according to the guidelines in the policy. The time-limited appointment is distinguished from a temporary appointment by the longer length of time, and from a regular permanent appointment by its limited duration. Temporary - An appointment for a limited term, normally not to exceed three to six months, to a permanent or temporary position.
Students are exempt from the twelve-months maximum limit.
If retired employees sign a statement that they are not available for nor seek permanent employment, they may have temporary appointments for more than twelve months. When sufficiently justified, a longer period of time may be requested, but in no case shall the temporary employment period exceed twelve consecutive months. Students are exempt from the twelve-months maximum limit. If retired employees sign a statement that they are not available for nor seek permanent employment, they may have temporary part-time appointments for more than twelve months. Intermittent - An intermittent appointment may be made to positions needed only for intermittent periods of time.
