CLA HR Approval Required for Appointments into the Exempt Temporary/Casual (0007) Classification

To ensure compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) effective October 15, 2010, CLA Human Resources requires approval prior to making any appointments into the Exempt Temporary or Casual (0007) classification. Fiscal Service Teams and Payroll will not enter 0007 appointments into HRMS without CLA HR approval.

Please provide the following documentation to CLA HR:

Brief job description
Suggested hourly rate of pay
Comparable Civil Service classification (must be an exempt position; cannot be P&A)
Supervisor of position
Indicate "Temporary" with total number of days for the appointment or "Casual" with total number of hours per week for the appointment
Start and End dates (end date required if "temporary")
Org Chart

Once CLA HR receives all of the required documentation, the request will be reviewed to ensure appropriate classification, compensation, and exemption status. Once approved, CLA HR will notify the department and provide a position number, department should then work with the fiscal team and payroll to enter the appointment.

Contact Tihara Chadwick (624-0098) or Millie Reid (626-7648) with questions.
