Full-Time Personnel -- Employees whose regular assignment requires them to work not
less than 30 hours/week for not less than six (6) hours per day during the period of the
employee's work year, excluding vacation, leave and holidays.
Temporary Personnel -- Employees who accept assignment(s) for a predetermined period
of time will not be provided Board-paid benefits. This stipulation shall be included in the
