What Is A TAU? Temporary Authorization Utilization (TAU): Appointments in a temporary, full-time position that are not hired from a civil service employment list.

Applicants must meet the minimum qualifications for the class. Employees hired in lieu of a permanent are permitted to work up to nine (9) months pending the completion of a new examination for the class.

The employee must successfully compete in the examination and be reachable in order to continue employment beyond the 9-month limit.
