§ 5-10-7-6 — Receiving agencies; compensation; status of employees

(a) When any unit of government of this state
acts as a receiving agency, employees of the sending agency who are
assigned under authority of this chapter may:
(1) be given appointments in the receiving agency covering the
periods of such assignments, with compensation to be paid from
receiving agency funds or without compensation; or
(2) be considered to be on detail to the receiving agency.
(b) Appointments of persons so assigned may be made without
regard to the statutes or rules governing the selection of employees of
the receiving agency.
(c) Employees who are detailed to the receiving agency shall not by
virtue of such detail be considered to be employees thereof, except as
provided in subsection (d), nor shall they be paid a salary or wage by
the receiving agency during the period of their detail, except in special
cases upon written permission by the state board of accounts such
employee or employees shall be paid fully by special appropriation
approved by the county council and the department of local
government finance. The supervision of the duties of such employees
during the period of detail may be governed by agreement between the
sending agency and the receiving agency.
(d) Any employee of a sending agency assigned in this state who
suffers disability or death as a result of personal injury arising out of
and in the course of such assignment or sustained in the performance
of duties in connection therewith shall be treated for the purpose of
receiving agency's employee compensation program as an employee,
as defined in such statute, who has sustained such injury in the
performance of such duty, but shall not receive benefits under that
statute for any period for which he elects to receive similar benefits as
an employee under the sending agency's employee compensation
program.
