(20 ILCS 415/21 new)

Sec. 21. Extra Help appointments.

(a) An Extra Help appointment may be made by the Department of Corrections to any a Corrections Nurse I or a Corrections Nurse II position which the Department of Corrections attests to be casual or emergent in nature, and which meets the following conditions:

(1) the amount of time for which the services are needed is not usually predictable;

(2) payment for work performed is usually made on an hourly basis; and

(3) the work cannot readily be assigned either on a straight time or on an overtime basis to a status employee.

(b) Persons seeking an Extra Help appointment shall meet the same qualifications as required for in status employment as a Corrections Nurse I or a Corrections Nurse II.

(c) The Department of Corrections shall fill an Extra Help position by appointing persons listed in the registry created under Section 3-2-2.3 of the Unified Code of Corrections.

(d) Acceptance or refusal to accept an Extra Help appointment by a candidate shall in no way affect the candidate's position on the registry created under Section 3-2-2.3 of the Unified Code of Corrections.

(e) An Extra Help position may be utilized for a maximum of 900 hours of actual work in any consecutive 12 calendar months. The Department of Corrections shall review the status of the position at least every three calendar months. If at any time it is found that the position has become an appointment which is other than Extra Help, the Department of Corrections shall terminate the Extra Help appointment. If an Extra Help position has accrued 900 consecutive hours, the position shall not be reestablished until 6 months time has elapsed from the date of the termination of the position.

(f) Upon working 900 hours, an Extra Help employee cannot resume employment in any Extra Help appointment within the Department of Corrections until 30 calendar days have elapsed.

(g) The Department of Corrections shall quarterly review its use of Extra Help appointments to ensure compliance with these rules.

(h) Compensation of Extra Help employees shall be within the limits established for comparable service by in status employment as a Corrections Nurse I or Corrections Nurse II.".
