In the event of a dispute between the Parties as to future inclusions or exclusions from the unit resulting from the establishment of new or changed classifications or titles, either Party to this Agreement may apply to the Maine Labor Relations Board for resolution of the dispute. Employees who are employed on a seasonal basis, i.e., for regularly recurring seasonal periods of three (3) months or more, shall be covered by the provisions of this Agreement upon the completion of six (6) months employment subject to any special provisions relating to their employment. In order to qualify, such six (6) months must be worked in not more than three (3) consecutive years and only time in pay status during such seasons shall count.

Part-time employees\u2019 work time for the past year shall be reviewed no less frequently than on each anniversary date in order to determine the appropriate prorated benefits level. Temporary, seasonal and on-call employees, excluded by law from the bargaining unit, include project employees, seasonal employees not covered by the preceding paragraphs, persons from outside the MCC System service who are on acting capacity assignment, and intermittent employees. Project employees are employees appointed to a project position which is restricted to a planned work program to be completed within a specified period of time and which is not regularly recurring. Intermittent employees are employees who are appointed for a period of time on a sporadic basis and who work not more than five hundred (500) hours in any consecutive twelve (12) month period beginning with the date of hire or anniversary of date of hire. Any employee designated as intermittent, who works in excess of the limits set out above and who works more than 1,040 regularly scheduled hours during the period since appointment as an intermittent employee without a break in service due to resignation or dismissal shall be covered by the terms of this Agreement. The sporadic periods such an employee is not in pay status because of the sporadic nature of the position shall not be considered to be a break in service. Where possible, such employees shall be placed in a permanent or limited period full-time or part-time position as appropriate, provided that he or she is eligible for appointment.
