Extra-hire position definition
Extra-hire position means a Career Service exempt temporary position without County benefits filled for a maximum duration of up to six months in a 12-month period unless specifically extended by the Human Resources Director. Employees who work less than 40 percent of the regular work schedule of the department per month are to be considered extra-hire employees and may work for an indefinite period. Extra-hire positions are ordinarily used for seasonal peak workloads, emergency workloads, vacation relief, and other situations involving fluctuating staff. Extra hire employees are not eligible for County benefits, except they shall accrue one hour of sick leave for every 40 hours worked, as required by state law.
