1460 REEMPLOYMENT ROSTERS

.1 BACKGROUND

.110 Description and Purpose

Generally, reemployment rosters contain the names of former permanent employees who have been separated due to reductions in force, reorganizations and reassignments and whose names have been placed on preferred lists. These rosters provide these employees with additional mandated opportunities for reemployment in State service in addition to those provided by preferred lists. The names of employees are placed on reemployment rosters when they have obtained preferred list rights pursuant to:

  1. CSL §81.1 which provides preferred list rights to employees who are suspended or demoted pursuant to CSL §80 or 80-a; or
  2. CSL §70.2 which provides preferred list rights to employees who are separated due to a transfer of function between State Departments or Agencies and/or Civil divisions of the State; or
  3. CSR 4.11 and 4.12 which provide preferred list rights to employees appointed pursuant to these rules who are subsequently separated due to the return of the prior permanent incumbent of the position. However, employees who have returned or been reinstated to a lower-level position, and whose rights to be reinstated are thereby restricted by these rules, will not have their names placed on reemployment rosters; or
  4. Department of Civil Service policy which grants preferred list rights to employees who refuse to accept an involuntary reassignment to a county other than the one in which currently employed.

.2 POLICY

.210 Establishment and Duration

A. Establishment
Unlike examination eligible lists which are established as of a specific date, the names of employees eligible for reemployment roster status are interfiled with the names of other eligibles as of the date on which they become eligible for preferred list status.

B . Duration
Employees' eligibility for appointment from a reemployment roster coincides with their eligibility for reinstatement from a preferred list, i.e., four years from the date on which their name was placed on the list.

.220 Placement of Names and Ranking

  1. The names of preferred list eligibles are placed on reemployment rosters for selected titles, other than preferred list titles, based on a similarity between duties, minimum qualifications and examinations. Additionally, titles are selected based on the expectation that eligibles will be able to perform the duties of the title once they have completed the standard orientation and training which occurs during the probationary period.
  2. The names of preferred list eligibles are interfiled on reemployment rosters regardless of the reason for their eligibility for reemployment roster status or their date of eligibility.
  3. The names of reemployment roster eligibles are not ranked. Any eligible whose name appears on a reemployment roster may be considered for appointment.

.230 Removal of Names

.231 Effect of Declination

  1. The names of eligibles who decline or fail to reply to an offer of employment from a reemployment roster certification shall be removed from the reemployment roster in the same manner as for preferred lists. (See 1450.230.) However, such action will not affect preferred list eligibility.
  2. The names of eligibles who decline or fail to reply to offers from a preferred list certification shall also be removed from the reemployment roster.

.232 Effect of Reemployment

  1. The names of eligibles who are reemployed in a position in New York State Government will be removed from the reemployment roster in the same manner as for preferred lists.
  2. Agencies may request removal of the name of an eligible from the reemployment roster and/or preferred list for misconduct or disability.
  3. Eligibles may voluntarily remove their names from the reemployment rosier and preferred list. Unlike eligibles who request temporarily inactive status, eligibles whose names are removed at their request will not be restored to the reemployment roster.

.240 Certification Limitations

    .241 Certain eligibles may have their rights to be certified on a reemployment roster restricted by law, rule or policy as follows

    1. The names of eligibles placed on preferred lists due to separation resulting from a transfer of function are restricted to reemployment rosters and preferred lists which are certified for positions in their former agency, and for positions in the agency to which the function was transferred.
    2. Eligibles who were serving part-time as of the date of layoff, who have never served full-time in their title, or who did not have at least one year of permanent part-time service prior to layoff will be restricted to part-time reemployment from the reemployment roster.
    3. Eligibles may request that their names be restricted from specific certifications of the reemployment roster and preferred list for good cause.
    4. The Department of Civil Service may restrict the names of eligibles who have resigned, or who have been terminated during probation from a position subsequent to an appointment from a reemployment roster or preferred list.

.250 Temporarily Inactive Status - Eligibles may request to have their names temporarily inactivated on the reemployment roster and preferred list.
