A short- term employee who exceeds 165 workdays in two consecutive fiscal years will not gain permanent employment rights with the District. The agency shop provisions of this contract shall cover the employee. 25.2.4 A short-term position which exceeds 165 workdays for two consecutive fiscal years will automatically become a regular position on the 166th workday of the second consecutive year and will be opened for filling. (Filled through the job opening provisions of this contract.) 25.2.5 A position may be designated as short-term even though it exceeds the workday limits set forth in Sections 25.2.2 and 25.2.4 above only if documented by Board action as being specially funded only for a specific length of time from non-district sources.
