Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Resignation: An employee who voluntarily
leaves the Office of the Secretary of State shall, except in emergency
circumstances approved by the department director, give advance notice of
intent not less than 15 calendar days before the departure's effective date.
Once a resignation has been submitted by the employee, and accepted by the
employing department director or by the Department of Personnel, the
resignation shall not be revoked unless the revocation is requested by the
employee and the revocation is approved by the employing department director
and the Director of Personnel. Resignation in good standing shall mean that the
employee gave the required notice or that the emergency circumstances justified
failure to do so, and that the employee's conduct and work performance were
satisfactory at the effective date of the resignation.
b) Reinstatement:
1) The Director of Personnel may reinstate an
employee who was formerly certified under the Secretary of State Merit
Employment Code and who resigned or terminated in good standing or whose name
was placed on a reemployment list. The reinstatement may be to a position in
the class to which the employee was assigned prior to resignation, termination,
downward allocation, transfer or layoff or to an equivalent or lower position
in a related series. The Director of Personnel may reinstate an employee who
was formerly certified under a merit system, including the Personnel Code, the
State Universities Civil Service Act, the State Treasurer Employment Code or
the Comptroller Merit Employment Code. A reinstated employee shall serve an
additional 6 months probationary period in the position. Requests for
reinstatement shall be accompanied by the employee's performance records when
available.
2) A certified employee
whose name appears on a reemployment list may be reinstated to a position other
than a position to which the employee is eligible for reemployment.
Reinstatement to a position in a lower pay grade than that for which the
employee is eligible for reemployment shall have no effect on the employee's
reemployment rights. Reinstatement to an equal or higher position than that for
which the employee is eligible for reemployment shall result in removal of the
employee's name from the reemployment list upon satisfactory completion of the
new probationary period.
