Transfer of Function. When a transfer of function occurs, the Department will first solicit qualified volunteers for transfer from among those employees in positions that have been identified for transfer. If there are not enough qualified volunteers from among these affected employees, the Department will solicit qualified volunteers from the competitive area. If the total number of employees who volunteer for transfer exceeds the total number of employees required to perform the function in the competitive area that is gaining the function, preference will be given to the volunteers with the highest retention standing. In the event there are not enough volunteers for the transfer, the employee with the lowest retention standing will be selected. Whenever possible, affected employees who do not volunteer to be transferred shall be reassigned to vacant positions within the competitive area for which the employee is qualified and which the Department has determined to fill.
