Section 302.570  Reemployment Lists

a)         The Department shall establish and maintain a reemployment list, by class and agency and county, or other designated geographical area approved by the Director before layoff.  A certified employee, except those who are in the Senior Public Service Administrator or the Public Service Administrator classes who are covered by subsections (b) and (c) below, who has been indeterminately laid off shall be placed in order of length of continuous service as defined in Section 302.190 on a reemployment list for recall to the first available assignment to a position in the class (or related classes with substantially similar requirements and duties) and agency, and county, or other designated geographical location or area in which the employee was assigned prior to being placed on the reemployment list.  Where circumstances warrant, at the discretion of the Director, such reemployment list may be established by related classes whose duties are substantially similar to the class from which the employee was laid off.

b)         Certified employees who have been indeterminately laid off from the Senior Public Service Administrator or the Public Administrator classifications will be placed on the appropriate reemployment list for the Senior Public Service Administrator or the Public Service Administrator based on the classification and option designation for the position from which the employee was laid off.  The employee shall be placed, in order of length of continuous service as defined in Section 302.190, on a reemployment list for recall to the first available assignment to a position in the class and option, agency, and county or other designated geographical location or area in which the employee was assigned prior to being placed on the reemployment list.

c)         An agency will not be required to consider any employee who does not have the necessary qualifications for reemployment to a particular Senior Public Service Administrator or Public Service Administrator position, or who was not at the same or higher organizational level as the position being filled.  If an agency makes such a determination, this must be documented and submitted to the Department of Central Management Services.

d)         An employee whose name has been placed on the reemployment list will also be eligible for reinstatement in accordance with Section 302.610.
