to supervision of duties, costs of salary and benefits, and travel and
transportation expenses; provided that the agreement shall not diminish any
rights or benefits to which an employee of a governmental unit of this State is
entitled under this section.
(e)
As a receiving agency, a governmental unit of this State may give the
employee of the sending agency on a temporary [assignment or exchange] employee
interchange an exempt appointment and grant the employee rights and
benefits as other exempt appointees of the receiving agency if it will benefit
from the [assignment or exchange.] temporary employee interchange.
(f) The term of a temporary employee exchange
between a sending agency and a receiving agency that is a private sector
organization shall not exceed four continuous months.
