(b) Persons seeking an Extra Help appointment shall meet
the same qualifications as required for in status employment as
a Corrections Nurse I or a Corrections Nurse II.
(c) The Department of Corrections shall fill an Extra Help
position by appointing persons listed in the registry created
under Section 3-2-2.3 of the Unified Code of Corrections.
(d) Acceptance or refusal to accept an Extra Help

(e) An Extra Help position may be utilized for a maximum of
900 hours of actual work in any consecutive 12 calendar months.
The Department of Corrections shall review the status of the
position at least every three calendar months. If at any time
it is found that the position has become an appointment which
is other than Extra Help, the Department of Corrections shall
terminate the Extra Help appointment. If an Extra Help position
has accrued 900 consecutive hours, the position shall not be
reestablished until 6 months time has elapsed from the date of
the termination of the position.
(f) Upon working 900 hours, an Extra Help employee cannot
resume employment in any Extra Help appointment within the
Department of Corrections until 30 calendar days have elapsed.
