Section 15.04.01.145 - USE OF REGISTERS WITH REEMPLOYMENT PREFERENCE

Universal Citation: ID Admin Code 15.04.01.145

Current through August 31, 2023

01. Priority for Reemployment by Agency that Conducted the Layoff. (3-31-22)

a. The employee who has been laid off will be offered reemployment to a position in the classification from which laid off, before any person outside that agency may be promoted to, transferred to, reinstated or appointed to that classification by an appointing authority of that agency. Appointing authorities may reassign or transfer individuals who are in the same classification within their agency but may not demote, promote, reclassify, or make acting appointments to that classification. If that agency determines a need to fill that classification, the employee who was laid off has first priority for that position. (Ref. Rules 125.04 and 125.08) Extenuating circumstances due to short term budget, workload, location, or other complexities may be used by the appointing authority to request a temporary waiver of this rule by the administrator. (3-31-22)

b. When attempting to fill vacancies for a classification where a lay off occurred, the agency will provide an opportunity to interview and will make their hiring selection from the individuals their agency laid off from the classification, including those separated from state service under Rule 241.02 and those that took a voluntary demotion in lieu of layoff. (3-31-22)

c. Individuals being returned to the classification from which they were laid off will be reinstated with the same salary, permanent status and their sick leave balance restored. If the pay minimum has increased, see Rule 072.03. (3-31-22)

02. Consideration for Hire by Other Agencies. For promotional opportunities, internal agency candidates are normally considered before outside recruitment occurs, including other agencies' laid off candidates. However, individuals who have been laid off must be offered the opportunity to interview before other agencies consider candidates from statewide promotional or open-competitive recruitments. (3-31-22)

03. Employment by Other Agency. Individuals may be reappointed or reinstated if eligible. The salary of an employee re-hired after a layoff is negotiable between the employee and new appointing authority in the current pay grade for the classification in which the employee is appointed. (3-31-22)

04. Return to Register. If an individual finds another agency's position unsatisfactory or does not satisfactorily complete a voluntary probation period, he may be placed back on a register for the remainder of their twelve (12) month time frame. Individuals appointed to a position, other than the classification from which laid off, will remain on preference register status for the remainder of the twelve-month (12) period if otherwise eligible. (3-31-22)
