[§83-6] Status of employees of other governments. When any unit of government of this State is the receiving agency, an employee of another government may be considered to be on detail to the receiving agency or given an appointment in the receiving agency.
(1) Detail. An employee of another government on detail shall not be considered an employee of the receiving agency and may not receive a wage or salary from the receiving agency; provided that compensation for disability or death resulting from personal injury arising out of and in the course of the temporary intergovernmental assignment may be granted to the employee, as though the employee were an employee of the receiving agency, unless the employee, the employee's estate or survivor elects, instead, to receive compensation from the sending agency's program for such disability or death.
(2) Appointment. An employee of another government on a temporary intergovernmental assignment may be given an appointment by the receiving agency, without regard to the laws and regulations governing its selection and appointment to positions, and may be granted rights and benefits as other employees appointed by the receiving agency.
