Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Employees in
				Titles Subject to Collective Bargaining
The Department shall establish and maintain a reemployment
				  list, by class, option, agency and county or other designated geographical area
				  approved by the Director before layoff. A certified employee who has been
				  indeterminately laid off shall be placed in order of length of continuous
				  service as defined in Section
				  302.190 on a
				  reemployment list for recall to the first available assignment to a position in
				  the class (or related classes with substantially similar requirements and
				  duties), option, agency, and county or other designated geographical location
				  or area in which the employee was assigned prior to being placed on the
				  reemployment list. When circumstances warrant, at the discretion of the
				  Director, the reemployment list may be established by related classes and
				  options whose duties are substantially similar to the class from which the
				  employee was laid off.
b)
				Employees in Merit Compensation System/Broad-banded Titles
In the event no vacancies exist as described in Section
				  302.545,
				  employees in merit compensation system/broad-banded titles shall be placed on
				  the employing agency's reemployment list for the title and option from which
				  the employee was laid off and any other titles in which the employee was
				  previously certified within the county from which the employee was laid off and
				  within two additional alternate counties designated by the employee. In the
				  event the employee's facility or office is closing, the employee may designate
				  one additional alternate county, for a total of four counties. In no event
				  shall the vacancies include positions that are subject to collective bargaining
				  unless those bargaining unit vacancies remain after all contractual obligations
				  have been fulfilled. Laid off employees shall remain on the reemployment list
				  for three years, commencing with the effective date of layoff. Reemployment of
				  merit compensation system/broad-banded employees to positions under term
				  appointments is subject to the provisions of Section
				  302.825.
				  Reemployment of merit compensation system/broad-banded employees to non-term
				  appointment Senior Public Service Administrator and Public Service
				  Administrator positions will be placed on the appropriate list for the
				  identical classification and option designation for the position from which the
				  employee was laid off. The employee shall be placed, in order of length of
				  continuous service as defined in Section 302.190, on a reemployment list for
				  recall to the first available assignment to a position in the class and option,
				  agency, and county or other designated geographical location or area in which
				  the employee was assigned prior to being placed on the reemployment
				  list.
c) Qualifications for
				Reemployment
An agency will not be required to consider any employee who
				  does not have the necessary qualifications for reemployment to any position, or
				  who was not at the same or higher organizational level as the position being
				  filled. If an agency makes such a determination, this must be documented and
				  submitted to the Department of Central Management Services.
d) Reinstatement
An employee whose name has been placed on the reemployment
				  list will also be eligible for reinstatement in accordance with Section
				  302.610.
