Section 600.658  Resignation and Reinstatement

a)         Resignation:  An employee who voluntarily leaves his or her position of employment with the Office shall, except in emergency circumstances approved by the Auditor General, give advance notice of intent not less than ten (10) working days before the effective date of the resignation.  Once an employee submits a resignation, the resignation shall not be revoked unless the revocation is requested by the employee and the revocation is approved by the agency head. Resignation in good standing means that the employee gave the required notice, or that emergency circumstances justified failure to do so, and that the employee's conduct and work performance were satisfactory at the effective date thereof.

b)         Reinstatement:  On request of a Director, the Auditor General may, in his discretion, reinstate an employee who was formerly certified and who resigned or was terminated in good standing or whose position was reallocated downward or who was laterally transferred or subject to indeterminate layoff.  Reinstatement may be to a position in the classification to which the employee was assigned prior to resignation, termination, downward allocation, lateral transfer, or layoff or to an equivalent or lower position in a related classification.  A reinstated employee shall serve a four (4) month probationary period in the position to which reinstated.
