Local Employment Policy Handbook - ICASS

The employee may work 3 more days through September 30, or HR may process a new PSA-Ltd from
October 1-December 31 for the remaining 3 days within the calendar year for the employee, as
appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------
Example 3: June 5-23, 2006 =
September 27-29, 2006 =
Total work days for calendar year:
15 work days
3 work days
18 work days
The fiscal year ends September 30, 2006 (a Saturday). Based on continued need for services, HR may
process a new PSA-Ltd for the remaining 12 work days from October 1-December 31 for the employee, as
appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------
If local labor law states that a permanent employment relationship exists when employing an individual
for less than 30 work days, then HR may only process a PSA-Ltd for the maximum number of days local
labor law allows. (For example, in Country X, local labor law states that you have an employer-employee
relationship and a “permanent” employee after 20 days. Therefore, HR may process a PSA-Ltd for no
more than 20 days.)
HR may use a PSA-Ltd to employ on an emergency basis for 21 days or less without issuing a Vacancy
Announcement. Although recruitment in emergency situations is not a requirement, HR should use
discretion and consider times when it is more appropriate to hire under a PSA-Ltd using a Vacancy
Announcement.
HR may cancel a PSA-Ltd due to early terminations or by processing a new DS-1990 and indicating the
reason for the correction in the Remarks Section.
Unless required by local labor law, and included in the remarks section of the DS-1990, PSA-Ltd does not
provide the employee with leave, medical benefits, severance, retirement, US or local social security, the
Mission’s health plan, or any other non-cash benefits.
PD and CAJE Evaluation for a PSA-Ltd

positions to hire individuals under the PSA-Ltd employment mechanism.
No additional Position Description or statement of work is required for jobs on this list. No position

such a requirement.
