Transfer applications may be submitted at any time and are available to current County employees occupying permanent positions (including employees that are on probationary status; extra-help personnel are not eligible) who meet the minimum qualifications for the job classification in which they are requesting to transfer.
Under the transfer process, employees can move laterally within or between classifications. For the voluntary demotion process, employees can move to a classification with a lower salary range than the one they are currently in. Applications may be submitted when an employee is requesting to transfer to another position:
- In the same classification, in another department (transfer);
- In a different classification which has the same or lower salary range, as determined by Salary Resolution Section 100, in the same or a different department (transfer/voluntary demotion); or
- In a different classification within the same or different salary band in the same or another department (Senior Management classes only) - transfer or voluntary demotion determination made by Director of Personnel Services.
Employees submitting transfer applications will be notified in writing of whether their application has been accepted or rejected, including the reason if rejected. Accepted transfer applications will be kept on file for six (6) months in the Department of Personnel Services, Employment Services Division. Personnel Services will inform departments of transfer applications on file as vacancies occur, but it will be the employee's responsibility to contact departments regarding transfer opportunities. Transfers must be authorized by the department heads involved and the Department of Personnel Services.
