(A) Positions not covered. The following new positions of the county are not covered by PERF:
(1) Executive Advisor; and
(2) Executive Director.
(B) Part-time employees. Since March 6, 1973, the county has sought, and intended to include, within PERF coverage all of its full-time employees, while excluding part-time employees. This distinction has not been, and is not, made solely pursuant to PERF’s definition of part-time employees in I.C. 5-10.3-7-2. Rather, the county has defined full-time and part-time employment in its written policies and procedures. Since 1973, the county has excluded, and continues to excludes, from PERF coverage:
(1) Any employees who are not expected to work more than 1,000 hours per year, pursuant to I.C. 5-10.3-7-2;
(2) Any employees holding a position explicitly identified in any resolution excluding the positions from coverage; and
(3) Any employees who are expected to work more than 1,000 hours per year but are considered, for purposes of entitlement, to participate in all of the county’s employee benefits to be part-time employees under the county’s written policies and procedures.
