Over 6 Months Within a 12-Month Period

Overview

The purpose of this report is to help state agencies monitor the length of time an employee is in a temporary assignment. Employees at institutions of higher education are not included in this report. State agency employees can only be in a temporary assignment for six months within a 12-month period. Employees must return to their regular assignments after six months, per Texas Government Code, Section 659.260.

The Temporary Assignments Approaching/Over 6 Months Within a 12-Month Period Report lists two types of employees:

Classified employees in a temporary assignment that is due to expire within 45 days or that has already expired and
Active classified employees who have had a temporary assignment within the last 12 months from the report period.

Report Frequency

The report is generated on the first Friday of every month and made available to agencies the following Monday.

Who Receives the Report

Each agency receives a copy of its own report data.

What You Should Do With the Report

Review each employee’s status. Avoid giving a temporary assignment to an employee who has already spent six of the previous 12 months in a temporary assignment. Also use this report to identify employees who are approaching or exceeding six months of temporary assignment. Such employees should be moved back to their regular duties.

Social Security number
Name
