Separation Notifications
N.C.G.S. 126-6.3(a4) requires Cabinet and Council of State Agencies to notify Temporary Solutions whenever a temporary employee separates for their 31-day “break” due to their 11-month limit. This requirement applies to temporaries employed through Temporary Solutions, directly by a State Agency, or through a third-party staffing service.
Let’s break down this requirement.
For Temporaries Employed through Temporary Solutions
Agencies must submit a Separation Form to Temporary Solutions whenever a temporary employee’s assignment ends. This could be because the employee completed their assignment, reached their 11-month limit, took another job outside of state government, stopped working, or was involuntarily separated. To avoid payroll errors, it’s important that the Separation Request Form is submitted as close to the separation as possible.
Other Scenarios
If the temporary leaves the assignment to take another temporary job with Temporary Solutions, the receiving agency must submit a Job Order. The former agency should not submit a Separation Form.
If the temporary leaves the assignment to take another temporary job not with Temporary Solutions, the former agency must submit a Separation Form.
If the temporary leaves the assignment for a permanent position in state government, the former agency must submit a Notify Us of a Temp to Perm Transfer Form.
For Temporaries Not Employed through Temporary Solutions
Temporaries not employed through Temporary Solutions are those employed directly by a State Agency or through a third-party staffing service. Agencies must notify Temporary Solutions whenever one of these temporaries reaches their 11-month limit and separates to go on their 31-day break. Separation notifications are not needed for any other separation reason. Separation notifications must be submitted using the Temporary Solutions Separation Form.
