AB 347

Current state civil service law permits transfers among positions in state

government, but only if authorized by the administrator of the division of merit

recruitment and selection in the Office of State Employment Relations

(administrator). Under rules promulgated by the administrator, if an employee

transfers to another position in the same state agency and the employee is removed

from that position before completing a satisfactory probationary period, the

employee has the right to be restored to his or her former position or to a position for

which the employee is qualified in the same pay range or pay rate.

This bill provides that if an employee transfers to a position in the same state

agency in which the employee is currently employed, the employee has no right of

restoration to his or her former position or to any other position after the employee

has held the new position for 30 days. Consequently, if an employee is removed from

the new position after this 30 day period, the employee does not have the right to be

restored to his or her former position or to any other position.
