What are Extra-Help Appointments?
Extra-Help Appointments are non-status appointments and positions which an employer attests to be casual or emergent. Unlike traditional status appointments requiring the completion of a civil service examination, an Extra-Help employee can be hired based on an application review, interview and other supplemental employer recruiting processes. These supplemental processes may include completion of a skills test, such as a typing test, if required by the position being filled. Classifications for these positions are also broad in nature such as administrative, professional, technical, clerical, trades, and service. Compensation of Extra-Help employees is based on the limits established for comparable service in similar status employment positions.
