590 IAC 5-3-2 Temporary permits

Sec. 2. (a) A temporary permit may be issued at the request of a local library board to cover a substitute or temporary employee or an acting or interim appointee who does not at the time of assuming duties fully meet the requirements for the appropriate grade of certificate. Application for such temporary permit must be made prior to the seventh month of assuming duties. Regardless of the date of such application, the effective date of the first temporary permit shall be the date six (6) months after first assuming the duties of the covered position. A temporary permit is valid for one (1) year. It can only be renewed by special authorization of the Indiana library and historical board two (2) times. Application for such renewal shall be approved and requested by the local library board and shall be accompanied by: (1) proof of the employee having completed ten (10) LEUs; and (2) a statement indicating the employee's progress toward meeting the requirements for the requisite permanent certificate. Application for a temporary permit shall be made on the regular form prescribed for all certificates and shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee as established in section 3 of this rule. (b) Except as provided in subsection (c), LEUs required under subsection (a)(1) must be earned while the permit is in effect. (c) This subsection applies when a person submits an initial application for a temporary permit prior to the seventh month of employment in the person's current position. The person may count LEUs earned after the date the person began working in the position and before the effective date of the initial temporary permit toward renewing the person's initial temporary permit. The date the person began working in the position will be determined using the start date for the current position as listed on the initial application for a temporary permit.
