Section 99.41. Effect of reclassifications

When an employee’s job duties change or the Executive Board changes a class and a reallocation of the position becomes necessary, the employee shall be reclassified to the new class if the employee meets the established requirements. This reclassification, if it is to a lower level, will not be construed as a demotion and the reclassified employee shall be credited with seniority acquired in the higher class.

Notes of Decisions

The reassignment of two Office of Budget employes at the same time of the furlough of two other Office of Budget employes created a ‘‘vacancy’’, because a ‘‘vacancy’’ existed under the Civil Service Commission regulations when the reassigned employes would no longer function as assistant comptrollers in their new positions, thus creating a vacancy simultaneous with the furlough action.
