Anyone interested in hiring employees for one-time employment shall notify the Human Resources Department.
One-Time Employment can be submitted for work performed for a short period of up to one month. In an exceptional case, employment shall be approved for an additional month, with advance approval from Human Resources.
Please note – additional employment shall not be approved beyond the stated two months unless employee-employer relations were severed for at least 6 months.

or
2. Marking the second and third options (at the bottom of the table) – global gross sum to be paid without specification of the hours, in cases when there is no hourly supervision over the employee.
