Section 312IAC4-4-4. Temporary assignments

   (a) A temporary assignment may be made if the duty to be performed will be additional in nature. The division director may, with the approval of the director, designate other grades, classification of ranks, or positions as temporary assignments. Temporary assignments may result in temporary increases in grade, classification of ranks, or position.

  (b) The division director may, at any time, return an employee given a temporary assignment to the employee's permanent rank, grade, or position. An action by the division director under this subsection is not a demotion and does not entitle the employee to any recourse.

  (c) If a position described in 312 IAC 4-3-2(b) is vacated because of illness, injury, or leave approved to a permanent officer for at least thirty (30) days, and the division director determines the officer is unlikely to return to duty for at least thirty (30) more days, the division director may fill the vacancy with a temporary assignment.
