PDFWAC 357-19-365
When is it inappropriate for an employer to fill a position with a nonpermanent appointment to address a short-term immediate workload peak or other short-term needs?
Employers must not fill a position with a nonpermanent appointment under the provisions of WAC 357-19-360 (1)(c) when the work of the position is scheduled, ongoing and permanent in nature. If at any time during a nonpermanent appointment, a short-term workload peak or other short-term need becomes ongoing and permanent in nature, the employer must take action to fill the position on a permanent basis.
