An extra help appointment is defined as an appointment made to a non-regular, non-permanent position established on a temporary basis to meet peak loads, unusual work situations, seasonal and recurrent work, intermittent assignments, or emergencies. An extra help appointment is not a regular appointment and need not be made from an established eligible list except that appointments to positions covered by Local Agency Personnel Standards shall be made from eligible lists if appropriate lists are available. In the event an extra help position is subsequently converted to a regular position, only a continuing incumbent, whose original appointment was made from one of the ten highest standings on the appropriate eligible list, may be granted probationary status effective on the date of establishment of the regular position without further examination, except medical examination or evaluation as may be required by current personnel policies. An extra help appointment shall require prior recommendation and/or approval of the Administrative Officer or Board of Supervisors, as appropriate. Such appointment, except emergency appointment, shall not exceed one thousand and forty hours in the twelve month period immediately following the first day of the first appointment of the incumbent, unless extended by prior approval of the Commission; however, an extra help appointment to a position covered by Local Agency Personnel Standards shall not exceed twelve months. Except in the case of emergency or when the nature of the assignment is such that it does not fall within an existing classification, the appointing authority shall be responsible for determining that the extra help appointee meets the minimum qualifications established for the class at the time of appointment. In the case of an extra help appointment to a position for which no appropriate classification exists, the appointing authority shall be responsible for determining that such appointee is qualified to perform the duties of the job. In the case of a bona fide emergency, a person may be appointed on an extra help basis without regard to the minimum qualifications established for the class, and such appointment shall be reported to the Administrative Officer and Personnel Director within seventy-two hours of appointment and shall not exceed thirty working days unless extended by prior approval of the Administrative Officer.
