Civil Service. Agencies with authority to fill vacancies will be required to

use the redeployment list provided by the Department of Civil Service to

fill vacancies.
5. Employees offered redeployment shall have at least five (5) working

days to accept or decline the offer.
6. Full-time employees will be redeployed to full-time assignments and

part-time employees will be redeployed to part-time assignments, unless the
employees volunteer otherwise.

7. Redeployment opportunities within ASU, ISU, OSU and DMNA shall
first be offered to affected employees in the units. Exceptions to this

section may be agreed to by the Employment Security Committee.
8. There shall be the following types of redeployment:

a. Primary redeployment shall mean redeployment to the employee’s
current title or a title determined by the Department of Civil Service to

have substantially equivalent tests, qualifications or duties. Comparability
determinations shall be as broad as possible and will include consideration

of the professional licenses or educational degrees required of the
incumbents of the positions to be contracted out.

b. Secondary redeployment shall be to a title for which the employee
qualifies by virtue of his or her own background and qualifications.

Participation shall not be mandatory for either party. If an individual
employee is interested in secondary redeployment, the State shall work with

that employee to identify suitable available positions and arrange for
placements. Should the Department of Civil Service determine that an

employee can be certified for appointment to a particular job title, such

employee shall be placed on the appropriate reemployment roster
immediately upon such determination. Appointments from such
reemployment rosters shall be governed by Civil Service Law. The State

shall make its best efforts to identify suitable available positions and arrange

for placements. Secondary redeployment shall not be considered until
primary redeployment alternatives are fully explored.
c. Employees not successfully redeployed through their primary and

secondary redeployment options may be temporarily appointed to positions

in which they are expected to be qualified for permanent appointment within
nine months. At the discretion of the appointing authority and the

Department of Civil Service, this period may extend to one year.
Participation shall not be mandatory for either party.
