Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1)
			 Promotions. Within the discretion of the Director, vacancies in classified
			 positions shall be filled, insofar as practicable, by promotion from among
			 regular employees holding positions in the classified service. Promotion shall
			 be based upon merit and competition and shall be made in accordance with the
			 procedures established by those sections of these rules dealing with
			 promotional appointments.
(2)
			 Transfers. An appointing authority may, at any time, assign a classified
			 employee under his jurisdiction from one position to another in the same class
			 or comparable class determined by the Director or comparable class determined
			 by the Director. Any classified employee may be transferred from a position in
			 one department to a position in the same class in another department, provided
			 that the Director has authorized the transfer and has received approval of both
			 appointing authorities concerned. In every case involving transfer, the
			 appointing authority shall submit a written request to the Director. A transfer
			 from a position in a lower classification to a position in a higher
			 classification in the same series shall be deemed a promotion and shall be made
			 in the manner provided by the rules for promotional appointment. A transfer
			 from a position in a higher classification to a position in a lower
			 classification shall be deemed a demotion and the procedures established by
			 these rules for effecting a demotion shall apply. In the case of a transfer of
			 an employee from one department to another, the attention of both appointing
			 authorities shall be called to the leave status and seniority for employment of
			 the employee. If the appointing authority to whose department the transfer is
			 proposed is unwilling to accept the transfer with accumulated leave, the
			 employee must use or lose such leave accumulated prior to the
			 transfer.
(3) Demotions. An
			 appointing authority may demote a classified employee under his jurisdiction
			 from a position in one class to a position in a lower class in the same series
			 or comparable classification as authorized by the Director. The appointing
			 authority must give written notice which states the reasons for the demotion to
			 the employee. The employee must be afforded a due process hearing prior to the
			 implementation of the demotion. The employee may, within ten days, appeal the
			 appointing authority's decision to the Director for review.
(4) Appointment of Classified Employee to
			 Unclassified and Exempt Service. A classified employee who is appointed to fill
			 a position in the unclassified service shall, at the conclusion of his
			 occupancy of such position, resume his previous status in the classified
			 service. Employees appointed to the unclassified service will accrue and use
			 leave in the same manner as classified employees. Employees appointed to the
			 exempt service will not earn leave. Any accumulated leave will be frozen and
			 paid upon separation from State service.
