Furthermore, a request for transfer initiated by an employee shall not be treated as a notice of termination or result in any form of disciplinary action. The supervisor may also initiate and make recommendations for transfer in order to better utilize the skills, knowledge, or experience of a staff member. Both employee and supervisor must understand that arrangements for transfers require varying periods of time to accomplish and that many requests do not result in a transfer being completed because the appropriate opportunities may not exist. Under normal circumstances, regular employees will not be transferred until they have been employed for a period of time sufficient to determine the success and satisfaction in their present jobs -normally three months.
Temporary employees are eligible for transfer at any time.

However, they will be informed that the approval of their current supervisor must be obtained before further contacts can be made.
