Title IV EXECUTIVE BRANCH

36.280. Transfer of employees — noncompetitive examination required when. — 1. An appointing authority may at any time assign an employee from one position to another position in the same class in the appointing authority's division; except that, transfers of employees made because of a layoff, or shortage of work or funds which might require a layoff, shall be governed by the regulations. Upon making such an assignment the appointing authority shall forthwith give written notice of the appointing authority's action to the director. A transfer of an employee from a position in one division to a position in the same class in another division may be made with the approval of the director and of the appointing authorities of both divisions. No employee shall be transferred from a position in one class to a position in another class of a higher rank or for which there are substantially dissimilar requirements for appointment unless the employee is appointed to such latter position after certification of the employee's name from a register in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Any change of an employee from a position in one class to a position in a class of lower rank shall be considered a demotion and shall be made only in accordance with the procedure prescribed by section 36.380 for cases of dismissal. An employee thus involuntarily demoted shall have the right to appeal to the administrative hearing commission pursuant to section 36.390.

2. An employee who has successfully served at least one year in a position not subject to subsection 1 of section 36.030, but which is subject to section 36.031, may be transferred to a position subject to subsection 1 of section 36.030 in the same class with the approval of the director and of the appointing authorities of both divisions, provided he or she possesses the qualifications and has successfully completed a noncompetitive examination for the position involved.
