Emergency appointments. — When an emergency makes it necessary to fill a position subject hereto immediately in order to prevent stoppage of public business, or loss, hazard, or serious inconvenience to the public, and it is impracticable to fill such a position under any other provision of this chapter, an appointing authority or a properly authorized subordinate employee may appoint any qualified person to such a position without prior approval of the director. Any such person shall be employed only during such an emergency, and any such appointment shall expire automatically ninety calendar days from the date of the appointment. The appointing authority shall report each emergency appointment to the director as soon as possible after date of such appointment and the report shall contain the name of the person appointed, the date of appointment, and the reasons which made the appointment necessary. No individual may be given more than one such appointment in any twelve-month period in the same division of service.
