				effective by the appointing authority within 90 calendar days following the
				date approved shall be void. Position classification changes that will have a
				budgetary impact shall not become effective until approved by the department of

				appointing authority within three pay periods following the date of that
				decision.
(2) Except where
				licensure, registration or certification is required, an employee shall not be
				required to meet the minimum qualifications for the new job classification when
				a reclassification is the result of the correction of a position classification
				error, a class or series revision, the gradual evolution of changes in the
				position, legislative action, or other external forces clearly outside the
				control of the appointing authority.
(3) An employee in a position covered by
				merit system provisions shall be required to meet the qualifications for the
				new job classification when the reclassification is the result of successful
				completion of an established training period where progression to the next
				higher level in the job classification series is customary practice, for
				reasons other than those mentioned in subrule 52.6(2), or when the
				reclassification is the result of a voluntary or disciplinary demotion.
				"Completion of an established training period" shall be the period provided for
				on the class descriptions for the class. In addition, employees with
				probationary status must be eligible for certification in accordance with
				11-Chapter 58, Iowa Administrative Code.
(4) In all instances of reclassification
				where licensure, certification, or obtaining a passing score on a test is
				required, that requirement shall be met by the employee within the time limit
				set forth by the director If this requirement is not met, the provisions of
				rule
				11-60.3 (8A)
				shall apply.
(5)
				Reserved.
(6) If an employee is
				ineligible to continue in a reclassified position and cannot otherwise be
				retained, the provisions of 11-Chapter 60, Iowa Administrative Code, regarding
				reduction in force shall apply.

				provisions to a position not covered by merit system provisions without the
				affected employee's written consent regarding the change in merit system
				coverage. A copy of the written consent letter shall be forwarded by the
				appointing authority to the director If the employee does not consent to the
				change in coverage, a reduction in force may be initiated in accordance with
				these rules or the applicable collective bargaining agreement
				provisions.
