CA AB2142

Creates a rebuttable presumption that school districts and community college districts must place short-term employees into the classified service if they work beyond 75% of a school year (195 working days)

Requires placement into classified service if a short-term employee separates, is laid off, or is terminated before reaching 75% of a school year and is later rehired by the same district at any point, including in subsequent school years

Amends Education Code Sections 45103 and 88003 to apply these new requirements to both K-12 school districts and community college districts

Applies only to districts that have not incorporated the merit system outlined in existing education code provisions
