Reassignment

A reassignment is the movement of an employee from one position to another in the same classification within or between departments. Employees may be reassigned administratively or at the request of the employee. Administrative reassignments between departmental units are subject to the approval of Human Resources. Only status employees with demonstrated acceptable job performance are eligible to request reassignment.^[1] An employee's request for reassignment must be submitted to Human Resources in writing. All reassignments are made with no change in salary.

1. Candidates on reassignment registers may be interviewed at the discretion of the hiring unit. Reassignment candidates, if selected, maintain their seniority for the classification and their unused vacation and sick leave but do not serve any additional probation. Employees should give at least 2 weeks notice when relocating on campus.
