Section 1. Interdepartmental Transfers: An employee in the classified service who has served the required probationary period may be transferred from a position in one department to a position in the same or similar class and same pay (based on top salary steps) for which they are qualified, in another department, with the consent of the employee to be transferred and the principal appointive officer of the department to which the employee is to be transferred, with the approval of the Civil Service Commission. An additional probationary period is not given in such interdepartmental transfers to the same classification title.
Employees of the Board of Education may not transfer to a City position, nor may City employees transfer to a Board position; employees of the City and the Board of Education may apply for entry-level positions in either jurisdiction for which they are qualified.
Section 2. Assignment to Other Work: An employee in the classified service may be assigned to work other than that described in the specifications of his classification but of the same general level of responsibility for a period of thirty calendar days without notice to the Commission. Such an assignment shall involve no change in compensation. No person shall be assigned for more than thirty calendar days on other duties than those implied by his class title unless he has qualified through competitive examination and is appointed in accordance with these rules.
Section 3. Transfer of Unclassified Employees: Whenever, by reason of reorganization of one or more departments, divisions or bureaus of the city service, an employee in the unclassified service is not needed or his position is abolished in such unclassified service, the employee, with the approval of the City Manager or other chief appointing authority and the Civil Service Commission, may be transferred to a vacant position with similar duties in the classified service in the same or other departments, divisions or bureaus. Only employees who have occupied such unclassified service positions for two or more years may be transferred to the classified service. No such transfer shall be made to a position occupied by a regularly appointed employee in the classified service or to a position for which an employee is on a preferred eligible list by reason of layoff or reclassification.
