Jefferson Parish employs approximately 800-900 part-time, on -call, temporary Recreation Department workers. The majority are summer workers who work much less than 90 days, in fact some of these employees may only work once month or less. For purposes of Parish record keeping and payroll, the workers' status is active to ensure they are available when called upon to work and can easily receive compensation for their services.
