A.
Reassignment is defined as the movement within an agency of an employee from
one position to another position having the same State salary range, or the
movement of a position within an agency which does not require
reclassification.
B. Transfer is
defined as the movement to a different agency of an employee from one position
to another position having the same State salary range, or the movement of a
position from one agency to another agency which does not require
reclassification.
C. Probationary
or Trial Status
Upon reassignment or transfer, an employee shall be in
probationary or trial status; however, a covered employee with permanent status
in the class or unclassified State title is not in probationary or trial status
when the reassignment or transfer:
1.
Does not change the employee's class or unclassified State title; or
2. Is to a class or unclassified State title
in which the employee already holds permanent status in the class or
unclassified State title.
D. Probationary Period
1. An employee in probationary status who is
reassigned or transferred must complete a probationary period of:
a. Twelve months' duration for
noninstructional personnel;
b. The
academic year duration for instructional personnel (teachers); or
c. Not more than two full academic years'
duration for faculty at State technical colleges.
2. At his discretion, the agency head or his
designee may count up to six months of continuous satisfactory service in the
previous class or unclassified State title toward the employee's probationary
period which would result in a reduction in the length of the employee's
performance review period. If the reassignment or transfer is not to a new
class or unclassified State title, the employee's probationary period shall not
change.
3. An employee who performs
unsatisfactorily during the probationary period must be terminated before
becoming a covered employee.
E. Trial Period
A covered employee who is reassigned or transferred to a
position in which he has not held permanent status in the class or unclassified
State title must complete a six-month trial period. This period may be extended
by the agency head up to 90 calendar days upon written notification to the
employee of the extension prior to the end of the six-month trial
period.
