(a) Definition of Part-Time Employee. Any employee, scheduled or otherwise, working less than 40 hours per week, is, for the purposes of this chapter, a part-time employee, or in the case of the Department of Fire, scheduled or otherwise working less than the accepted full-time standard for the classification/position.
(b) Permanent Part-Time Employees. Any permanent part-time employee, regularly employed on a continuing work schedule of less than full-time, shall be compensated at the appropriate rate of pay for his or her classification.
(c) Temporary or Seasonal Employees. In an emergency, an appointment may be made without regard to the civil service laws or the rules of the Civil Service Commission, but in no case shall such appointment continue longer than 6 months, nor shall successive temporary appointments be made. However, interim or temporary appointments, made necessary by reason of sickness or disability of the regular employee, shall continue only during such period of sickness or disability.
Where the services to be rendered by an appointee are for a temporary period, not to exceed 6 months, and the need of such service is important and urgent, the Mayor may select for such temporary service any person on the proper list of those eligible for permanent appointment. If an eligible list is not available, the Mayor may select a qualified applicant for such temporary service. Successive temporary appointments to the same position shall not be made under this division. The acceptance or refusal of a temporary appointment by an eligible employee shall not affect his or her standing on the register for permanent appointment, nor shall the period of temporary service be counted as part of the probationary service in case of a subsequent appointment to a permanent position.
(d) Intermittent Employee. An "intermittent employee" is an employee who works an irregular schedule which is not predictable and is determined by the fluctuating demands of the work and/or the needs of the Department. Employees who receive an intermittent appointment are in the unclassified civil service and serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority. Intermittent employees shall be compensated on an hourly basis.
(e) Benefit Exclusions. All temporary, intermittent and permanent part-time employees shall be excluded from participating in the City's group insurance plans, holiday pay, vacation pay and sick leave, except as otherwise provided in this chapter or Chapter 246.

The normal work week shall be 40 hours.
