NAC284.132. Temporary classifications.

     1. An appointing authority, an employee or the Division of Human Resource Management may request a temporary classification which allows the classification of a position for a temporary period of 1 year or less. Each appointment which is designated as temporary must have specific criteria established which justify the grade of the position and the projected date of expiration of the period. A position which no longer meets this criteria will revert back to the class from which it was reclassified. This method of classification is subject to the following conditions:

     (a) Temporary classifications must meet the allocation standards and the criteria established for the class before this method may be used. The classification must be approved by the Division of Human Resource Management before the appointment.

     (b) An employee who is appointed to a temporary class must sign the payroll document. This signature acknowledges that the employee understands the conditions of the reclassification and its projected date of expiration.

     2. If the employee meets the minimum qualifications for the temporary classification, he or she:

     (a) Retains his or her status of appointment; and

     (b) Must complete the remaining portion of the probationary period currently being served, if any, based on the requirements of the new class.

Ê An incumbent who has reverted to his or her previous class is entitled to the step, pay progression date and status of appointment he or she would have attained if he or she had not been appointed to the temporary class.

     3. The pay progression date of an employee who is promoted pursuant to this section will be determined in accordance with the provisions of NAC 284.182. The rate of pay for the employee will be determined in accordance with the provisions of NAC 284.172 governing an employee’s pay on promotion.

     4. In case of a layoff, the temporarily assigned employee’s class of layoff is his or her former class. The time served in the temporary class is counted for seniority purposes if it was in the same occupational group, as provided in NRS 284.171.
