1.
Transfer in your current job class
to a different department. (PMR 45.1)
This process may be used by a current employee who wants to transfer
to a position with the same job title the employee currently holds, but in a
different department from the one the employee currently works in. In order to qualify as a transfer, you
must be a current employee in a regular status position (in other words, not
extra-hire or not working for the County through a temporary agency). An employee with less than six months of
service, less than a satisfactory performance evaluation and/or a disciplinary
suspension, reduction in pay or equivalent disciplinary action within the last
year may not be eligible for a transfer except at the discretion of the Director
of Human Resources. In order to
transfer to another department, you should:
- Click on the button below to access Job Descriptions, select the
appropriate job, and click on the link at the top of the job description page
to complete the online application.
If eligible, Marin County Human Resources (HR) will send you a notice
confirming that your name has been placed on the eligible list. As vacancies occur in the job class,
HR will send your name to all County departments (except your current
department and any other department that you indicate where you don’t want to
be transferred) who request a certified list for your current job title. You will also receive notification from
HR when your name has been certified to fill a vacancy and who to contact for
your selection interview in the hiring department.
Transfer in your current job class to a different department.
2.
Transfer to a different job class
with the same salary as your current job class. (PMR
45.1)
This process, identical to transferring to the same classification
above, may also be used by an employee to transfer to a position that has a
different job title, but with the identical salary range, as the one the
employee currently holds. In order
to qualify as a transfer, you must be a current employee in a regular status
position (in other words, not extra-hire or not working for the County through a
temporary agency). An employee with
less than six months of service, less than a satisfactory performance evaluation
and/or a disciplinary suspension, reduction in pay or equivalent disciplinary
action within the last year may not be eligible for a transfer except at the
discretion of the Director of Human Resources. The maximum salary of the class you
currently hold must be the same as the maximum salary for the class you wish to
transfer into. Also, you must meet
the employment standards for the job to which you want to transfer. In order to transfer to another
department, you should:
- Click on the button below to access Job Descriptions, select the
appropriate job, and click on the link at the top of the job description page
to complete the online application.
HR will review your qualifications and send you a notice confirming
that your name has been placed on the eligible list if you qualify. As vacancies occur in the job class,
HR will send your name to all County departments (except your current
department and any other department you indicate where you do not want to
transfer) who request a certified list for that job class. You will also receive notification from
HR that your name has been certified to fill the vacancy and who to contact
for your selection interview in the hiring department.
Transfer to a different job class in a different department with the same salary range as your current job class.
3.
Voluntarily demote to a different job class with a lower salary than your current job class. (PMR 45.2)
This process may be used by a current employee who wants to voluntarily move to a position with a different job title and lower maximum salary than the maximum salary of the classification that the employee currently holds. In order to qualify for a voluntary demotion, you must meet the employment standards for the job to which you want to demote. Additionally, your request for voluntary demotion must be approved by the appointing authority and the Director of Human Resources. Please be aware that you will be required to serve a new probationary period if you demote to a class unrelated to your previous position or if you demote into another department in a class in which you have not held regular status (See PMRs 45.2 and 35.3). In order to voluntarily demote, you should:
- Click on the button below to access the list of Job Descriptions, select the appropriate job, and click on the link at the top of the job description page to complete the online application. HR will review your qualifications and send you a notice confirming that your name has been placed on the eligible list if you qualify. As vacancies occur in the job class, HR will send your name to all County departments (except any department you indicate where you do not want to demote) who request a certified list for that job class. You will also receive notification from HR that your name has been certified to fill the vacancy and who to contact for your selection interview in the hiring department.
Voluntary demotion to a different job class with a lower salary range than your current job class. By choosing this selection you acknowledge that (1) you are applying for this demotion voluntarily, (2) if appointed to the lower salaried classification you may be required to serve a new probationary period and (3) if you fail to pass probation in the lower paid classification you will not have the right to return to your prior higher paid classification.

County through a temporary agency.
