The Human Resources Department maintains lists of Placer County employees who are eligible for transfer. When a department requests an employment list for a job class, the names and applications of employees on the transfer list are sent to the department, along with candidates from an active open/promotional eligible list.

Interdepartment Transfer Eligibility Criteria

You must be a permanent or probationary Placer County employee.
You may transfer to the same classification you currently hold, or it can be a different classification in the same or a different department. The top step salary of a different classification must be within 5% (higher or lower) of the top step salary of your present classification.
You must meet the minimum qualifications of the new classification.

Usually there is no change of benefits for employees; however, some loss or gain of benefits can occur in various situations. Please contact the Human Resources Department if you have any questions.

Voluntary Demotion Eligibility Criteria

You must be a permanent or probationary Placer County employee.
You may voluntarily demote to a different classification in the same or a different department. The top step salary of the classification must be at least 5% less than the top step salary of your present classification.

Interdepartment Transfer/Voluntary Demotion Process

An application is required in order for you to be placed on a Transfer/Voluntary Demotion list. Human Resources will review your application material for eligibility, and you will be notified of your status.

If you qualify, your application will be placed on a Transfer/Voluntary Demotion list for one year. You will be referred to departments as vacancies occur, as long as you continue to be eligible. Please note, you will not be notified when the one year period is up and must reapply to be considered for future vacancies.
