ARTICLE 33 - REASSIGNMENTS AND REQUIRED TRANSFERS
Work assignments within like classifications series may be made as necessary to maintain operations. In the Department of Public Safety, Enforcement Unit, when management determines to fill a vacancy in the divisions affected by this Agreement, employees in like classifications are eligible to indicate their interest for work reassignment to this vacancy. Such expressed interest will be given first consideration by management on the basis of ability and classification seniority. If Peace Officer training is required as a condition of employment in the division where the vacancy exists, such a reassigned employee shall be given the opportunity to receive the required training within one year at the Employer's expense. Failure to successfully complete the required training will result in a reassignment back to his/her original position.
Each member of the bargaining unit from the Department of Public Safety, Enforcement Unit may submit his/her request for reassignment to another division to the Personnel Division of the Department of Public Safety. All requests shall be given first consideration as vacancies occur.
If no bid is received, pursuant to Article 31.02 (1., 2., 3.), the most junior employee in the needed classification shall be transferred.
Members who have been required to transfer and who have residency requirements shall be given two (2) paid days off at their regular rate for moving.
Moving expenses will be authorized and paid by the Employer for employees when the transfer has been mandatorily required by the Employer. The Employer may authorize and pay moving expenses in the event of a residency requirement related to transfer or promotion, if such movement would be desirable to the Employer. Moving expenses will not be granted when the transfer is at the request of the individual. When reimbursed, moving expenses will be paid in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code.
33.04 Temporary Living Expenses
An employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for meals and lodging for up to twenty (20) working days, as provided by procedures of the Department of Administrative Services, following a transfer initiated by the Employer.
Transfers and work location reassignment will not be used as discipline. The parties agree that the Department of Public Safety shall have the authority to reassign employees from the Governor’s Residence and/or the Ohio Statehouse to other work locations in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area at its discretion. No employee will experience a reduction of compensation or layoff as a result of such transfer.
