SPECIAL NOTE The intermittent designation shall be utilized only where work responsibilities are characterized by unpredictable work schedules which do not meet the normal criteria of regular, year-round, full-time or part-time assignments. Such category is not to displace or be used in place of regular full-time or part-time employees. Assignment of Work Assignment of work hours to intermittent employees shall be based on managerial needs and shall be limited to work that is appropriate to the class title. Furlough and Recall Whenever it is necessary to furlough intermittent employees, furloughing will be done in the inverse order of seniority based on official records at the end of the last pay period. A furlough means that an intermittent employee cannot be scheduled for work within the next week. Reasonable advance written notice of furlough action shall be given to the employee. A furlough will not be considered a layoff and will not require issuance of a 45-day notice. The seniority organizational unit for purposes of furlough selection will be employees currently working in a designated work unit. Prior to the use by the appointing authority, designated work units must be submitted to and approved by the New Jersey Department of Personnel. Seniority shall be determined by the number of regular hours worked by the intermittent employee. Recall from furlough will be made in seniority order from the most senior to the least senior employee from among furloughed employees who are assigned within a designated work unit which may be the local office and/or satellite office. In cases of equal seniority, the tie will be broken by determining the number of hours the employees were in pay status under Special Service during the last two years immediately preceding their conversion to an intermittent title. Recall of employees may be extended on a regional or statewide basis if the recall list for the work unit has been exhausted. When the recall procedure is extended beyond the work unit or when the recall is for less than four hours of work, the termination actions listed below will not apply when the intermittent employee cannot be contacted or refuses an offer of recall. However, when an offer of recall is accepted to a work unit other than the one from which the employee was furloughed, the new work unit will become the employee's seniority organizational unit for future furlough and recall actions. Recall actions shall be initiated during the first two hours or the last two hours of the workday. If the department is unable to contact the employee during these times, the next employee on the recall list will be called until a sufficient number has been secured. If a department is unable to contact an employee on two consecutive occasions, the employee shall be notified in writing of the specific dates and times the contacts were made. Employees will be given 5 calendar days from date of receipt to advise of their current availability for future days from date of receipt of their current availability for future scheduling. Failure to respond as directed shall be considered a resignation. If on the next occasion the same employee is unavailable, this also shall be considered a resignation. Intermittent employees who are contacted and refuse an offer of recall for reasons other than verified illness, disability, or approved leave may be resigned.
