Section 88005.1.

The governing board of a community college district may establish positions and employ persons in public service employment positions which are funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and which are restricted by the act to a limited duration of participation.

The positions shall be a part of the classified service. Persons so employed shall be classified employees for all purposes except that they shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 88091 and 88092, and they shall not acquire permanent status or seniority credit for the purpose of layoff or reemployment. Retirement benefits shall be subject to the applicable federal law.

Persons employed in and occupying such positions shall be eligible to apply for any position or class of positions within the classified service for which they meet the qualifications, and, upon employment in the regular classified service, shall have their classified service counted from the original date of employment in the CETA position.
