Limited Term Employment

Limited Term Employment (LTE) openings with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are located throughout Wisconsin. LTE jobs are temporary and you do not need to take a civil service examination. Limited term jobs vary in length but will not exceed more than 1,043 hours of work within a twelve-month period. If you accept a position with the Department of Natural Resources, you will be paid by means of an electronic funds transfer into an account at a financial institution of your choice, unless to do so would cause an undue hardship.

LTE Residency Requirements

Per Wisconsin Statutes 260.16(1), 6.10(1) and 6.02 to 6.15, an applicant for limited term employment must be a Wisconsin resident at the time of hire. Wisconsin Statutes identify a resident as a person who meets one of the following requirements:

  1. Has established a residence (defined as the place where the person's habitation is fixed, without any present intent to move and to which, when absent, the person intends to return) in the state not less than 10 days earlier;
  2. Has resided in this state for not less than a total of one year out of the immediately preceding 5 years;
  3. Is eligible to register to vote in this state; or
  4. Is the spouse of a person meeting one of the above requirements.

The policy of the State of Wisconsin as an employer is to employ or continue to employ only persons who are legally authorized to work in the United States.
