Between Departments. For those classifications (example Office Specialist) that are used by more than one department, a consolidated list for each such classification will be established. When, within a twelve (12) month period after layoff, a vacancy occurs in that classification in a department that has exhausted or has no department recall list, employees on the consolidated list shall have first right of refusal for the vacant position in descending order of the total layoff credit score. The employee must meet the minimum qualifications for the position and must be capable of performing the specific requirements of the position. Employees shall have a trial period of no more than three (3) months, during which either the Employer or employee may decide that the job is not being filled satisfactorily, in which case the employee would be returned to the department and consolidated recall lists with the same total layoff credit score.
Between Departments. The employee may file a request for transfer to any department in state service. Upon approval of that department, such employee may be appointed to any permanent vacancy in a class for which he/she meets the necessary qualifications in the same or counterpart pay range as the position occupied at the time of notification of layoff.
