Can staff be hired as consultants, or consultants hired as staff?

No. Per SED’s Fiscal Policies and Guidelines where there exists an employer-employee relationship between the local agency and project personnel, such personnel should not be budgeted as consultants. Individuals listed in any of the personnel codes are considered to be local government employees and cannot also be listed as a consultant in the Purchased Services (budget code 40).
