An employee was laid off and placed on a layoff register for one year. Two months following lay-off, the employee was offered reemployment in the same job class and competitive area. The employee refused reemployment and was removed from the layoff register. The individual has one year from the date of lay-off to be rehired without a break in service.
Selective competition is approved for unique or specific qualifications required for the position.
The employee shall be given one point for each month of continuous service including the time spent on military leave. During a layoff, successful performance in the higher class, if documented in writing, could count toward completion of the probationary period for the lower class in the series. This exception would only apply to demotions occurring as a result of a workforce reduction. The agency should, however, as good business practice, make every effort to assist such an employee in their employment efforts.
