HR Director with Controller's concurrence may adjust terms to reflect conversion of temporary positions to permanent positions if funding is available and conversion is needed for maintaining services or addressing staffing needs created by the SF Housing Authority's changing scope of work, etc..
Impact
Positions are made exempt to ensure successful succession plans and transfer of mission-critical knowledge within City departments by allowing up to 6 months of simultaneous employment of departing and incoming employees. Temporary assignments different departments can be used in various situations like peak-load or to return injured employees to work.

Emergency appointments are authorized by the HR director if funds are available, not extending beyond the certified period.
