A. Regular Full-Time. A regular full-time position is one in which the required work is expected to be performed during the entire workday and requires thirty (30) or more hours per week. An appointment to such a position occurs after an employee has satisfactorily completed the applicable probationary period.

B. Regular Part-Time. A regular part-time position is one in which the required work is expected to be performed during a portion of a workday, such as a morning, afternoon, or night shift. The work shall total at least fifteen (15) hours but less than thirty (30) hours per week. An appointment to such a position occurs after an employee has satisfactorily completed the applicable probationary period.

C. Temporary. A temporary position is one established to provide city services for a period not to exceed the greater of six (6) months in duration or the duration of a position funded by a one- (1-) time grant from the federal or state government on a temporary basis. A temporary employee may not be rehired into the same temporary position for thirty (30) calendar days.

D. Seasonal. A seasonal position is a position for which the customary annual employment is six (6) months or less, and for which the period of employment begins each calendar year at approximately the same part of the year, such as summer or winter.

E. Nonregular Hourly. A nonregular hourly position is one needed to perform city services on a recurring basis, with the number of hours worked in a particular week varying from week to week. A nonregular hourly employee shall not work more than one hundred nineteen (119) hours per month. A person holding a nonregular hourly position is not covered by any of the terms of this title and is not entitled to any of the rights or benefits provided to employees under these rules unless expressly stated otherwise in specific provisions of these rules, or an individual employment agreement.

F. Acting Assignment. An acting assignment is one in which a current employee is temporarily assigned to act in a nonrepresented or executive level position. An acting assignment is made when an employee, although perhaps not fully qualified for the acting assignment, may be assigned some or all duties of a higher-level position. This type of assignment benefits the employee who may gain knowledge and skill in a higher-level position. Work performed in an acting assignment may be counted toward the experience requirement in meeting minimum qualifications for the class of position in which the employee was acting.

When an employee is temporarily assigned to work in an acting assignment position, the employee shall receive ten (10) percent above their current rate of pay for the duration of the assignment. [Ord. 23-19 § 2, 2023; Ord. 05-15 § 2; Ord. 202 § 3.033, 1992.]
