Minimium Eligibilities

Temporary Employees

Detailed Discussion

Temporary Employees are extra personnel hired as a direct result of the disaster to  perform eligible work. An example of a temporary employee would be a laborer  hired to perform repairs to roads damaged during the disaster.
   Regular and overtime labor costs are eligible  for both emergency and permanent work performed by temporary employees when  they are doing eligible work.
   Seasonally employed personnel, when covered  under existing budgets and used for a disaster during the normal season of  employment, are considered permanent employees for the purpose of cost  eligibility. If they are employed outside their normal season, they are  considered temporary employees.
