Law
PERSI, employee, definition
PERSI – Amends existing law to revise the definition of an employee.

RS30843 / S1283

This legislation amends the definition of “employee” for the purposes of PERSI enrollment to exclude seasonal employees of soil and water conservation districts in positions that do not exceed eight consecutive months in a calendar year if the employer certifies in writing that the position is seasonal or casual and is affected by weather. This definition already applies to seasonal golf course, park, or other positions in cities, counties, irrigation districts, cemetery districts, and mosquito abatement districts.

This legislation has no fiscal impact on the general fund. This legislation will result in a significant cost savings to soil and water conservation districts.
