Common use of Temporary Position Clause in Contracts

Temporary Position. A temporary position is a position created to respond to a temporary increase in workload, the absence of a regular employee or the need to complete job/task for a fixed term. A temporary position may extend for a period of up to twenty-four (24) calendar months. A permanent full-time or permanent part-time employee who fills a temporary position will retain his/her permanent status. While employed in the temporary position, he/she will receive benefits based on the number of scheduled hours of work, for the duration of the temporary position. A permanent employee shall revert to their permanent position and office at the end of the temporary position if available. The employee will not be eligible to have his/her application for a further temporary position considered for a period of up to six (6) months from the date of return to his/her permanent position unless the “employer” agrees that having the employee accept another temporary position, without returning to their permanent position, would be mutually agreeable. For purposes of this Article, it is understood that the “employer” is the permanent “home” position of the employee. It is also understood, for purposes of this Article, that the cumulative period of time a permanent employee may be absent from their permanent “home” position may not exceed twenty-four (24) months.
