Section 50
Section 50.70  Geographical
Transfers
a)         Filing Requirements
1)         A certified employee who has been served with an approved
order for geographical transfer, may appeal to the Merit Commission provided
such appeal is made in writing and received by the Commission within 15
calendar days after the date the employee is required to report to the new
location.
2)         Under normal circumstances, a temporary transfer of an
employee for a period in excess of 60 calendar days will be considered a
permanent transfer, enabling the employee to then appeal such transfer without
regard to Section 50.70 (a)(1) herein.
b)         Procedure
1)         In appeals to the Commission from permanent transfers from one
geographical area in the State to another, the employee shall have the burden
of introducing sufficient, competent, and credible evidence showing that the
transfer was unreasonable, unjust, capricious, or not a bona fide attempt to
serve the best interest of the operating agency.
2)         Unless inconsistent with this Section, the procedures of
Section 50.110 shall apply to geographical transfer hearings.
