OPS Approval for 1,040 Extension Process
Procedures for OPS Approval of 1,040 Hour Extension
FY 2006-2007 Procedure
Pursuant to s. 110.131(2), Florida Statutes, the Executive Office of the Governor must approve extensions beyond 1,040 hours in a 12-month period for individuals in other-personal-services (OPS) employment. Each agency must submit an electronic request using the attached Excel spreadsheet to the Executive Office of the Governor (EOG) to extend the employment of other-personal-services (OPS) individuals expected to work more than 1,040 hours during the 2006-07 fiscal year. The Extension Request Tab on the spreadsheet should only include positions that are not eligible for any of the exemptions in s. 110.131, F.S. (listed below in paragraph 2 in the Definitions section of these instructions). Chapter 60L-33.005 Florida Administrative Code provides criteria that form the basis for approval. The justifications for OPS extensions must include sufficient detail to determine the request is justified. The Request for Exemption Tab should be completed to account for all OPS positions that are determined to be exempt from the extension approval requirements regardless of whether they are anticipated to exceed the 1,040 hour threshold. By November 1, 2006, please send the Requests for OPS Extension and Exemption via e-mail for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 to the Governor’s Office of Policy and Budget (OPB) via julie.vickers@laspbs.state.fl.us. OPB will notify the agency of its approval or disapproval of the request by December 15, 2006.
Definitions
1. Agency -- any official, officer, commission, board, authority, council, committee, or department of the executive branch of state government; and any officer, court, commission, or other unit of the judicial branch of state government supported in whole or in part by appropriations made by the Legislature. The definition of Agency for purposes of these instructions excludes the Florida Board of Education and universities.
2. An OPS employee -- an individual who is rendering temporary services not assigned to an established position. These employees are paid from other-personal-services appropriations.
OPS employees categorized as “temporary” upon hire require EOG approval for extending their employment beyond 1,040 hours per year. Exemptions include:
1. Temporary OPS hired to deal with an emergency situation that affects the public health, safety, or welfare;
2. Board members;
3. Temporary OPS hired for a project that is identified by a specific appropriation;
4. Temporary OPS hired for a project that is identified by a time-limited grant;
5. Consultants;
6. Seasonal employees;
7. Institutional clients employed as part of their rehabilitation;
8. Bona fide degree-seeking students in accredited secondary or postsecondary education programs;
9. Part-time academic employment;
10. Health care practitioners; and
11. Contracted physicians.
Criteria for Approval
Chapter 60L-33.005(2) Florida Administrative Code provides that the following criteria shall form the basis of an agency’s request to the Office of Policy and Budget for approval to retain an OPS employee beyond 1,040 hours:
A) The agency has requested a full-time equivalent position in its agency legislative budget request to fulfill the duties of the OPS position on a permanent basis, and the Legislature has not previously rejected such a request.
B) The employee is currently working on a special project originally scheduled for completion within 1,040 hours but, due to unforeseen circumstances documented by the agency, the project requires more time, and it would be further delayed by hiring and training a new OPS employee.
C) The employee possesses specific knowledge or skills in a mission critical area of expertise for which there is an immediate but not permanent need, and training a new employee is not cost-justified.
D) The agency hired an employee to perform the duties of a permanent employee on extended leave, and services are still needed.
Procedure for Future Fiscal Years
Each July 1, the People First field that records year-to-date hours worked will be reset to zero for active OPS employees. A history file will be maintained by the Department of Management Services for prior years.
