RES 86090 - Laserfiche WebLink

If, in the opinion of the Personnel Officer, a vacancy in the position could be filled better by an open-competitive examination instead of promotional examination, he/she shall arrange an open-competitive employment list. Section 19. Transfer An employee may be transferred by the Appointing Authority to a comparable position. For purposes of this section a comparable position is one with the same maximum salary, involving the performance of similar duties and requiring substantially the same minimum qualifications. If the transfer involves a change from one department to another both department heads must consent thereto unless the City Manager orders the transfer for purposes of economy and efficiency. Transfer shall not be used to effect discipline or a promotion or advancement. Section 20. Resignation, Reinstatement and Layoff 20.1 Automatic Resignation Failure to return at the expiration of a leave of absence or being absent without leave shall be considered an automatic resignation. Such a resignation may be rescinded by the City Manager if the employee submits satisfactory reasons for his/her absence within three days of the date his/her resignation was effected. 20.2 Voluntary Resignation An employee may resign in good standing by submitting to the Personnel Officer a written resignation stating the reasons therefor and effective date thereof at least two (2) weeks prior thereto. A statement as to the resigned employee's performance shall be forwarded to the Personnel Officer by the department head. 20.3 Reinstatement With the approval of the Personnel Officer, a permanent or probationary employee who has resigned in good standing may be reinstated within two (2) years of the effective date of resignation, to a vacant position in the same or comparable class. Upon reinstatement, the employee, for all purposes, shall be considered as though he/she had received a new appointment. Memorandum of Understanding Page 21
