31 IAC 5-2-4 - Temporary and intermittent appointments

Authority: IC 4-15-2.2-19

Affected: IC 4-15-2.2

Sec. 4.

(a) To prevent stoppage of public business or loss or serious inconvenience to the public during an emergency, an appointing authority may make an emergency appointment of any qualified person, but notice of the appointment shall immediately be given to the director. The qualified person shall be employed only during the emergency and for a period not exceeding ten (10) days. A vacancy of which the appointing authority has had reasonable notice or an employment condition the appointing authority had, or may with due diligence have had, previous knowledge, is not considered an emergency under which an emergency appointment may be made. No emergency appointment shall be renewed without express permission from the director.

(b) Whenever an employee is urgently needed for a temporary period, the director may authorize a temporary appointment for a period not to exceed ninety (90) working days. Successive temporary appointments of the same person shall not be made. However, an employee may be reappointed at a later date if the employee's total employment in a temporary position does not exceed ninety (90) working days in a twelve (12) month period. The period of temporary employment is not counted as part of the working test period.

(c) Whenever an employee is needed on an irregular or as needed basis, a position may be filled by an intermittent appointment. This type of appointment is limited to one hundred eighty (180) working days in a twelve (12) month period unless an exception is:

(1) requested by the appointing authority annually; and

(2) approved by the department and budget agency.

The intermittent employment period is not counted as part of the working test period.
