The college may occasionally initiate the reassignment of an employee in response to emergency or special circumstances.

Examples of special or emergency circumstances include remedial action necessary to resolve a complaint, provide disability accommodations, accommodate a worker's compensation injury, and/or take corrective action in response to a union or administrative grievance.

Reassignments are characterized by the following elements:
 

1. Are involuntary personnel actions;
2. Are initiated by the college to reassign an employee;
3. Are permanent;
4. The original position is generally vacated, except under special conditions; and
5. Are generally lateral and do not involve a change in pay, rank or status, except under special conditions.
 

1. Will take place only if they are necessary for business operations and/or are consistent with the needs of the institution and with corrections necessary to address special or emergency circumstances;
2. Will not be used as a method for circumventing standard procedures for providing employment opportunities;
3. Will not be approved if and/or when it can be determined that the rights of other qualified individuals to compete for the "new" position transcend the identified business necessity; and
4. Will conform to the provisions of the classified contract.

Questions about the reassignment process can be referred to the Office Operations unit in Human Resources.
