Section 681.3.102. Transfers.

         3.102(1) Reassignments. Employees with the approval of the resident director may be reassigned at any time from one position to another in the same class within an institution, except that probationary employees who were certified to fill their position on the basis of special qualifications as provided in 3.69(2) will not be reassigned unless the new position requires the same special qualifications which justified the original certification.

         3.102(2) Special assignment. When the services of employees are temporarily needed in a position in the same or a different class within the institution other than the position to which the employees are assigned, they may be given special assignment, with the prior approval of the resident director and involved departments, to perform the duties of such position for a period not to exceed six months without change in title or status. In unusual circumstances, an extension of a special assignment for no more than one additional six-month period may be approved by the merit system director on written request from the resident director. Employees will be paid for special assignment in accordance with 3.39(6).

         3.102(3) Intra- and inter-institutional transfers. With permanent employees’ approval they may be transferred from one position to another in the same class or to a position in another class in the same pay grade, from one department to another department in the same or different institution under this system, provided both departments involved approve the transfer, and the resident director certifies that the employees meet the minimum qualifications for the class.

Transfers to higher or lower classes will be governed by the provisions of these rules concerning promotion or demotion, respectively.
