Generally, a temporary employee is hired for short-term project-based work or to fill-in for the long-term absence of a regular employee. Most temporary employees (other than faculty) work on an hourly basis, must be paid no less than the current minimum wage, and are paid overtime for any hours worked over forty in a workweek.
DSHR’s position on processes related to temporary employment:
State law defines a temporary employee, in relevant part, as one whose employment
is not to exceed one year. Therefore, state agencies should only employ temporary
employees for 12 months or less. If an agency needs the services of a temporary employee
for more than 12 months, it should only rehire the employee following a bona fide
separation from employment and bona fide rehiring. There is not a required minimum
duration for the separation, but DSHR recommends that the separation be a minimum
of 15 calendar days, which aligns with the break in service definition for employees
who earn state service. The length of the separation and the processes followed in
the transaction are key factors in determining the bona fide nature of the rehiring.
Whether or not the separation complies with federal and state law will depend on the
individual circumstances of the separation and subsequent rehiring.
