FEDERAL APPLICATION TIP: Term, Temporary, and Seasonal Positions The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service frequently hires term, temporary, and seasonal employees in addition to our permanent employees. The differences among these appointment types can be subtle and may have benefits that differ from permanent employees:  Term. Appointments are time limited for at least one year but not to exceed four years.  Temporary. Appointments are time limited not to exceed one year, but could be less. This can include seasonal employees, which typically cannot exceed 1,040 hours per calendar year and can be re-hired noncompetitively in subsequent calendar years as long as the candidate did not exceed 1,040 hours with the agency during the calendar year.  None of these hiring statuses confer competitive or permanent status. For answers about health benefits for term or temporary employees, click here. Fact sheets on accruing sick and annual leave for temporary employees can be found here.   Click here for more information on Appointment Types.  Office of Diversity & Inclusive Workforce Management connect@fws.gov  Visit U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram!
