Section 226.1.1 An employee may work for two agencies or institutions concurrently, provided that a request is made by agency or institution head(s) to the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State and provided that the combined salary payments from the agencies or institutions do not exceed the larger maximum annual salary of the line item position authorized for either agency or institution from which the employee is being paid. Subject to approval of the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State, an employee may be concurrently employed by the same agency or institution. (See Section 245.8.0 - "Drawing Salaries from Two State Agencies or Institutions".) Section 226.1.2 State employees may teach temporarily at state supported institutions of higher education even though their combined salaries will exceed the line item maximum (Arkansas Code §19-4-1604), subject to the approval of the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State. Section 226.1.3 Excluding faculty/instructor/adjunct teaching positions at universities, colleges and vo-techs, annual, sick and holiday leave may be accrued in a secondary employment position proportionate to the hours worked in both primary and secondary employment. However, no person concurrently employed by two state agencies, who is eligible for secondary employment leave accrual, shall be allowed to accrue annual, sick and/or holiday leave, or any other fringe benefit, which would exceed that allowable by state law for work performed during a regular forty (40) hour work week. Section 226.1.4 ACA §19-4-1604(b) (3) No employee concurrently employed by more that one state agency is allowed to be on paid sick leave with one agency and be paid or compensated by another state agency.

Section 228.1.0 One budgeted position may be occupied by two employees to allow job sharing-a form of employment in which the hours of work of two persons are arranged in such a way as to cover a single extra-help or regular full-time salary position in agencies/institutions.

Requests must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Personnel Management. [ back to top ]
