Oklahoma LOANED EMPLOYEE is a program established by the Oklahoma Office of State Finance that allows participating state agencies to loan their employees to other state agencies to work on special projects or fill in for vacancies. The program is designed to provide flexibility to the state budget and maximize the use of state staff resources. There are three types of Oklahoma LOANED EMPLOYEES: short-term, long-term, and emergency. Short-term LOANED EMPLOYEES are those on loan for less than three months and are expected to return to their home agency after the completion of their assignment. Long-term LOANED EMPLOYEES are those on loan for more than three months and may remain with the receiving agency until their home agency has a permanent opening. Emergency LOANED EMPLOYEES are those on loan for a period of up to two weeks to fill a vacancy due to illness, unexpected leave, or other emergency situations.
