Additional information

A government civil servant that is employed as intermittent is a person hired to work an irregular or occasional schedule, i.e., there is no set schedule of work. The employee compensated only for the time actually worked. This type of employment used to find support when there is a surge in requirements or a short-term mission requirement. Hours of employment are based strictly on the needs of the agency. At WarU, employees hired as Intermittent Employees, are restricted to no more than 1,040 hours of work per year. A "year" starts with the date of employment through the one-year anniversary. This limitation allows WarU to extend the employment of the individual indefinitely as long as there is a viable requirement and funding source. These employees may be appointed to new 1-year term appointments consecutively without limitations if they do not exceed 1040 hours in a year, however the one-year term limitations mean they are not entitled to certain rights under Merit Systems Protection, or certain federal benefits to include death benefits. Although an intermittent employee assigned to a specific WarU Business Unit, the individual may be used for requirements across the enterprise. WarU Intermittent Faculty Employees are subject to all applicable Federal ethics restrictions. In certain circumstances, this could bar intermittent faculty members from receiving compensation from a private corporation to teach a course that is substantially similar to any existing WarU course. Applicants who have questions about how this rule might apply to their particular circumstances are encouraged to review 5 C.F.R. § 2635.807 for complete information. As an intermittent, you will not be eligible for a benefits package that includes retirement, social security, and thrift savings (equivalent to a 401(k); health, life, and long term care insurance; accrual of annual (personal) leave, sick leave, and paid holidays.
