Allows an employer to make an extra-help appointment to any position for work that the employer attests to be casual or emergent in nature and that meets certain conditions. Provides that an extra-help position may be utilized for a maximum of 900 hours of actual work in any consecutive 12 calendar months. Provides that after an extra-help position has accrued 900 consecutive hours, the appointment shall become a permanent, status appointment with benefits within the limits established for comparable service in a status position. Provides that an extra-help employee who becomes a status employee shall receive seniority for all hours worked as an extra-help employee and seniority shall be applied in the same manner as for employees in status positions. Effective immediately.Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Provides that the employer's review of the status of the extra-help position shall be made available for public inspection. Provides that after an extra-help position has accrued 900 consecutive hours within a calendar year, the position shall not be refilled, except by a qualified status employee (instead of the extra-help appointment becoming a permanent, status appointment with benefits after the extra-help position has accrued 900 consecutive hours and the extra-help position being terminated and not reestablished until at least 6 months time has elapsed). Provides that the employer shall not create new extra-help positions in the same classification to circumvent the intent of the amendatory provisions. Provides that upon working 900 hours, the extra-help appointee shall not resume employment in another extra-help position in a place of employment until at least 12 months have elapsed (instead of prohibiting the resumption of employment in an extra-help appointment at a place of employment until 30 calendar days have elapsed). Provides that within any place of employment, an employer shall, prior to eliminating a status position, first eliminate any positions being filled by an extra-help appointee in the same classification. 1/22/2003SenateFiled with Secretary by Sen.
