Intermittent. An intermittent employee is an employee in classifications covered by this Agreement which do not exceed one thousand (1,000) hours in a fiscal year. All intermittent positions are in the unclassified service. All intermittent positions are scheduled at the discretion of the Employer, with no rights under Article 24, except Sections 24.07 and 24.08. An employee in an intermittent position may be terminated at will without recourse, and such termination is considered for just cause. Employees in intermittent positions shall be hired at Step 1 of the appropriate pay range for their classification. The employees in the intermittent positions shall not serve a probationary period. The employees in the intermittent positions are not eligible for step increases or longevity or any contractual benefits received by permanent employees (e.g. vision, dental, life, health insurance, holiday pay, leave accruals, any other paid leave, shift differential, pay supplements, etc.). No contribution will be made to the Benefits Trust for the intermittent positions. Intermittent positions are not subject to the layoff provisions of Article 29. Employees in intermittent positions shall be terminated before any full or part-time permanent employee in the same classification and work unit, as mutually agreed, is laid off. Employees in intermittent positions shall not have recall rights. The parties understand that employees in intermittent positions in classifications listed in Appendix A are members of the bargaining unit. Intermittent employees working more than one thousand (1,000) hours in a fiscal year shall be converted to part-time permanent status and shall be covered by the terms and conditions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Agency agrees not to abuse the designation of intermittent status and not to use intermittent employees for the purpose of avoiding filling permanent positions.
