Section 66609 Of Chapter 8. California State University From California Education Code >> Division 5. >> Title 3. >> Part 40. >> Chapter 8.
66609
. (a) All state employees employed on June 30, 1961, in
carrying out functions transferred to the Trustees of California
State University by this chapter, except persons employed by the
Director of Education in the Division of State Colleges and Teacher
Education of the State Department of Education, are transferred to
the California State University.
(b) Nonacademic employees transferred under this section shall
retain their respective positions in the state service, together with
the personnel benefits accumulated by them at the time of transfer,
and shall retain the rights attached under the law to the positions
that they held at the time of transfer. All nonacademic positions
filled by the trustees on and after July 1, 1961, shall be by
appointment made in accordance with Chapter 5 (commencing with
Section 89500) of Part 55, and persons so appointed shall be subject
to Chapter 5.
(c) (1) The trustees shall provide, or cooperate in providing,
academic and administrative employees transferred by this section
with personnel rights and benefits at least equal to those
accumulated by them as employees of the state colleges, except that
any administrative employee may be reassigned to an academic or other
position commensurate with his or her qualifications at the salary
fixed for that position. An administrative employee so reassigned
shall have a right to appeal from that reassignment, but only as to
whether the position to which he or she is reassigned is commensurate
with his or her qualifications. All academic and administrative
positions filled by the trustees on and after July 1, 1961, shall be
filled by appointment made solely at the discretion of the trustees.
(2) The trustees shall establish and adjust the salaries and
classifications of all academic, nonacademic, and administrative
positions and neither Section 19825 of the Government Code nor any
other provision of law requiring approval by a state officer or
agency for salaries or classifications shall be applicable thereto.
In establishing and adjusting salaries, consideration shall be given
to the maintenance of the state university in a competitive position
in the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel in relation
to other educational institutions, private industry, or public
jurisdictions that are employing personnel with similar duties and
responsibilities.
(3) The establishment and adjustment of salaries for nonacademic
employees shall be in accordance with the standards prescribed in
Section 19826 of the Government Code. The trustees, however, shall
make no adjustments that require expenditures in excess of existing
appropriations available for the payment of salaries. Chapter 5
(commencing with Section 89500) of Part 52, relating to appeals from
dismissal, demotion, or suspension, shall be applicable to academic
employees.
(d) Persons excluded from the transfer made by this section shall
retain all the rights and privileges conferred upon civil service
employees by law. Personnel of state agencies employed in state
university work other than those transferred by this section, and who
are employed by the trustees prior to July 1, 1962, shall be
provided with personnel rights and benefits at least equal to those
accumulated by them as employees of those state agencies.
(e) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the
provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to
Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1 of
the Government Code, the memorandum of understanding shall be
controlling without further legislative action, except that, if the
provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure
of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved
by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
