Limited term question (CDCR)

Published

So once a limited term intermittent's time is up do they have to go through the exact same process of applying as a list eligible to work at the same facility ? Do limited term employees have a possibility of becoming permanent?

What I was told: you get one year, rolled over for two and at the end of two your made permanent. Wait it out it will all work out.

What I did: applied for every permanent opening at my facility until I was made permanent. Took 2 months.

So it is what you make it, I applied just as an outsider, made my desire known and I'm glad I did. Your probation period doesn't start until after your made FT, so I wasn't about to wait.

So you didn't take limited term offers? Or did you apply for permanent positions while working limited term?

Thanks for the reply btw

I was hired limited term. The prison I work at hires most of its staff LT, I worked and still applied/interviewed. I was ok with the LT because I really just wanted my foot in the door, once your in your in. Everything else will be easier.

FYI I started applying in August got the offer in late December (applied at 4, got interviews at 4, refused 1 interview, got offers from 2) my first day was in March. It is a slow process don't get frustrated or give up.

Hi, I was just offered a limited term, intermittent position just last week with CDCR. I accepted and look forward to it. Just a quick question. During my interview, I clarified with them by asking what my schedule would be like. They stated that I would give them my availability and they will schedule me per what I am available. I only need per diem at this time since I am in school for my MSN. They stated that they will work with me. But my question is, what was your LT/intermittent schedule like? Was it as like they had stated for me? Were there minimum hours that you were required to work? Any additional info would be appreciated! Thanks :)

I was told LTs are required to work a minimum of 8 shifts per month, 2 of which must be on weekends. Hourly pay.

I was limited term full time, not intermittent not sure how that works. All I know is you'll cap out at 1500hrs a year.
