						  duties for at least six months and meets the competencies and other position
						  requirements
:
If the employee meets the competencies and
						  other position requirements:
If the employee meets the competencies and
						  other position requirements and chooses to remain in the reallocated
						  position
:
[RIGHTWARDS ARROW] The employee remains in the position
						  and is appointed with permanent status provided the probationary or trial
						  service period for the class to which the position is reallocated is six months
						  in duration. If the probationary period or trial service period is longer than
						  six months and the employee has not performed higher level duties for the
						  length of the probationary period or trial service period, the employer may
						  require the employee serve the remainder of the probationary or trial service
						  period before gaining permanent status in the reallocated position.

						  in the duties of the position and the employee has not performed the higher
						  level duties for six months or more

						  and retains existing appointment status.

						  status; has the right to be placed on the employer's internal layoff list and
						  in the general government transition pool; and has their salary set in
						  accordance with WAC
						  357-28-120.

						  the opportunity to compete for the position. The employer may choose to promote
						  the employee without competition as long as the employee meets the competencies
						  and any other position requirements.

						  base salary in accordance with WAC

						  employer's layoff procedure applies. If the employee is appointed and has
						  already gained permanent status, the employee must serve a trial service
						  period. If the employee has not completed the probationary period, then the new
						  trial service period will overlap provided the higher and lower classes are in
						  the same or a closely related field. If the classes are not in the same or
						  closely related field, then the employee will start their probationary period
						  over in the new class.
