Transfer Requests. Employees who have permanent status, and who desire to transfer to a posted position within their department, shall file a written request indicating that interest with the Office of the Commissioner for the Department of Public Safety’s posted positions and with the Bureau Chief for the Department of Natural Resources’ posted positions. Any employee that will be on approved extended leave of fourteen (14) calendar days or more may file a transfer request that will remain on file for the duration of the employee’s approved extended leave. The applications of the procedures in this Article shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) transfers resulting from any given original vacancy. Employees eligible for transfer may not transfer under the provisions of this Article more often than once every twelve (12) months. Employees not eligible for transfer, due to this twelve (12) month restriction or due to probationary status, shall be eligible to apply for vacancies that are posted before the twelve (12) month period or probationary status ends. However, the employee may not actually transfer to that position before the twelve (12) month period ends or probationary status ends unless mutually agreed upon. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, if an employee is transferred, promoted or reassigned, and their spouse, if also a peace officer, requests a transfer, the Employer may give preferential treatment to the spouse’s geographic transfer request without regard to seniority providing two (2) vacancies exist.
