AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 06-15-065, filed 7/13/06, effective 8/14/06)

WAC 357-19-115   To which employer and position would an employee revert?   A permanent employee who does not satisfactorily complete the trial service period or a Washington management service (WMS) review period or has failed to progress to the next step of an in-training plan in accordance with WAC 357-19-285, has reversion rights with the current employer at the time of reversion. An employee has the right to revert to a position, if available, in accordance with the following:

     (1) For employees reverting from trial service following a promotion, transfer or elevation, the employer must revert the employee to a vacant position, or a position filled by a nonpermanent appointee as defined in WAC 357-01-210, for which the employee satisfies competencies and other position requirements and which is:

     (([(a)][(c)])) (a) Allocated to the class the employee last held permanent status in; or

     (([(b)][(d)])) (b) If no positions are available, allocated to a class which has the same or lower salary range maximum.

     (2) For employees reverting from trial service following a voluntary demotion, the employer must revert the employee to a vacant position, or a position filled by a nonpermanent appointee as defined in WAC 357-01-210, for which the employee satisfies the competencies and other position requirements and which is allocated to a class which has the same or lower salary range maximum as the class from which the employee is reverting.
