Contract Labor
Occasionally, an agency will undertake special programs or be subjected to seasonal fluctuations that temporarily increase the workload beyond the capabilities of the agency's regular staff. Situations of this nature may necessitate the hiring of “contract labor” to be paid for out of the Operating Expenses line item of the agency's appropriation. Contract labor is not to be paid for out of regular salaries or extra help line items because the contract labor is employed by and paid by the contract labor service and not the user agency. The user agency will be billed for the services by the contract labor service. Labor of this type must be considered temporary and infrequently needed. Contract labor is paid from commitment item 02-Operating Expenses.
In order to prevent the circumvention or violation of the law or its intent, it has been determined that no agency subject to this act may employ contract labor for a period longer than six consecutive weeks or 240 hours per calendar quarter. If help is needed more often, the agency must request additional positions and employ full-time or extra help personnel to be paid in accordance with § ACA 21-5-101 and § ACA 21-5-209.
