Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The director
may provide by rule for selection and appointment for limited
term appointments, which are provisional appointments or appointments for less than 1,040 hours per year.
(1m) An appointing authority may not appoint a person who
is not a state resident to a limited term appointment unless approved by the director.
(2) If there are urgent reasons for filling a vacancy in any position in the classified service and the director is unable to certify
to the appointing authority, upon requisition by the latter, a list of
persons eligible for appointment from an appropriate employment register, the appointing authority may nominate a person to
the director. If the nominee is certified by the director as qualified, the nominee may be appointed provisionally to fill the vacancy until an appointment can be made from a register established after announcement of competition for the position, except
that no provisional appointment may be continued for more than
45 working days after the date of certification from the register.
Successive appointments may not be made under this subsection.
This subsection does not apply to a person appointed to a vacant
position in the classified service under s. 230.275.
(4) Fringe benefits specifically authorized by statutes, with
the exception of deferred compensation plan participation under
subch. VII of ch. 40, worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance, group insurance, retirement, and social security coverage, shall be denied employees hired under this section. Such
employees may not be considered permanent employees and do
not qualify for tenure, vacation, paid holidays, sick leave, performance awards, or the right to compete in promotional processes.
(5) If the director determines that an agency is not in compliance with the requirements of, or rules related to, sub. (1), (1m) or
(2) regarding a particular employee, the director shall direct the
appointing authority to terminate the employee.
