Section 600.642  Employee

Transfer

a)         Definition:  A transfer is the assignment of an employee to a

position whose classification has the same maximum permissible salary as the

former classification.

b)         Intra-Agency Transfer:  An employee may be transferred to a

position involving similar qualifications, duties, responsibilities, and salary

range in another division, section, or other unit within the Office.  Transfers

may be made by the Auditor General, as he deems necessary or desirable, in his

sole discretion.

c)         Geographical Transfer:  Geographical transfer is the transfer

of an employee, for the convenience of the employer, between the Chicago and

Springfield offices for the performance of duties other than temporary

assignments or details.  An employee who refuses to accept a geographical

transfer must report for duty at the new location but may make written appeal

of such transfer to the Grievance Review Committee in accordance with the

procedures established in Section 600.670 of this Part.  An employee shall be

reimbursed for all reasonable transportation and moving expenses incurred in

moving to a new location because of permanent geographical transfer unless such

transfer was requested by the employee.

d)         Rights of Transferred Employees:  A transferred employee shall

retain status, continuous service, and all accrued benefits.

e)         Transfer of Duties:  When the duties of a position are

relocated by transfer or by abolition and reestablishment and when said duties

are substantially the same, an incumbent employee may elect to relocate and

retain the duties of the position.
