2. A specific list of tasks that will be performed by each temporary employee
and the expected time (in work-hours) required to accomplish each task during the
term of employment. In submitting requests to extend the authorization of a
temporary position, a report of progress-to-date on the original list of tasks is
required.
3. A reference to the department's approved budget for salary expenditures in the
current year. In cases of non-budgeted emergency requests, departments must
explain the reason for the emergency and why it could not be anticipated during the
previous budget planning cycle. For example, departments may request temporary
hire to accomplish tasks generated by legislative action that may have occurred after
the budget was approved. In such cases, the department may simply cite the
respective authority including the legislative bill number and the appropriate session
number, along with a list of resultant tasks which will be accomplished by the
temporary hire.
4. Availability of funds for all requests submitted must be confirmed by each
department with the county auditor prior to forwarding same to the Department of
Human Resources. In the event that insufficient funds remain in that department's
budget to cover temporary requirements, the request should be properly documented
and labeled "NON-FUNDED REQUEST", then forwarded to the Department of
Human Resources for processing.
5. This policy for temporary hire herein defined in Chapter II, paragraph 2.07,
subparagraphs b(1-5) above, is not intended to allow any department to violate any
law regarding the employment of temporary hire or any other employee of Nueces
County. In event of conflict between this policy and any law pertaining thereto, the
full provisions and intent of the law shall prevail.
c. Seasonal Employee: An individual hired by the county to fill a position created by
seasonal needs and which occur generally during the same period each year. This type of

case basis by the Commissioners Court.

excess of 31 continuous days. Benefits do not accrue during this period of time.
2.09 Break in Service: Any approved leave of absence that is in excess of 31 continuous days
without pay.
2.10 Probationary Period:

time, the employee must demonstrate ability to satisfactorily perform the duties required.
