Section 19141.1 Of Article 5. Reinstatement From California Government Code >> Division 5. >> Title 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 5.
19141.1
. (a) This section applies only to a permanent employee, or
an employee who previously had permanent status, and who has a
reinstatement right pursuant to Section 19141.
(b) Within four years of the termination of an appointment in an
exempt position, either by the employee or the appointing power, an
employee who has completed a minimum of five years of state service
experience and at least one year but less than three years of exempt
service shall be given an opportunity upon request to obtain civil
service appointment eligibility, through a deferred examination, for
any position offered by any appointing power in any class for which a
current eligible list exists and which has a salary range up to two
steps higher than the employee's former position. If the employee has
three or more years of exempt service, the opportunity shall be
provided for any class at least two salary steps below the employee's
exempt salary level.
(c) At the termination of an exempt appointment, either by the
employee or the appointing power, on or after January 1, 1987, an
employee who has at least 10 years of state service including five
years of civil service experience and at least three consecutive
years of exempt service under a single appointing power and who
requests reinstatement in writing within 10 days of the termination,
shall be reinstated upon request to (1) his or her former position or
(2) any vacant position for which the employee has civil service
eligibility under the appointing power where the three years of
service were completed and which is at least two salary steps below
the employee's exempt salary level. In the absence of current list
eligibility, an employee shall be entitled to a deferred examination
for placement on a current eligible list for classes meeting the
mandatory reinstatement criteria. If the employee obtains civil
service appointment eligibility at any time within two years of the
termination of the exempt appointment, and a vacant position in the
appropriate class is not available, the employee's name shall be
placed on the appointing power's departmental or subdivisional
reemployment for any classes and locations which would satisfy the
employee's reinstatement request. Departmental or subdivisional
reemployment list eligibility granted under this section shall not
result in placement on any general reemployment list.
If an employee cannot be placed in a vacant position pursuant to
this section, the employee shall be reinstated to his or her former
position.
