Location Transfers. a. Location Transfer (1) When a regular vacancy occurs, employees currently holding regular status in that classification may request to be transferred from their location or assignment to such vacancy. A written location transfer request, on a form provided by the department, must be filed with the Department Chief or designee prior to the closing date. (2) Location transfer requests, submitted pursuant to subsection (1) above, shall be valid through December 31 of the calendar year during which it was filed. b. Involuntary Within the Same Classification Whenever possible, the Agency will provide notice of transfer as soon as practicable before the implementation date; this allows the employee time to transition from the assignment smoothly and to ensure that the workload is current for his/her successor. The normal minimum time for formal notice of such transfers is ten (10) work days written notice prior to a permanent involuntary transfer within the same classification. Temporary involuntary transfers due to emergency situations and/or business necessity shall not be subject to the ten (10) work day notice requirement. The Agency will not intentionally use temporary involuntary transfer to circumvent the notice requirement. c. Employees on initial probation shall not be eligible for voluntary transfer.
