(a) Each appointing authority who has laid off employees shall prepare recall lists of the names of the employees laid off. The recall list shall be compiled by the classifications in which the employees were laid off. The names of all laid off and displaced certified employees shall appear on one list, and the names of all laid off and displaced provisional employees shall appear on a second list. The names shall be listed in descending retention point order in each appointment category. These lists shall be in reverse order of the order of layoff as established in this chapter. The recall list shall contain the employee's name, type of appointment, retention points, and date of commencement of continuous service. In cases of identical retention point ratings, the order of recall shall be the reverse order of the layoff. These recall lists shall be administered by the Civil Service Commission.
(b) An employee's name shall remain on the appropriate list for a period of one year from the date of the job abolishment, layoff or date of displacement from his original classification.
(c) The administration of the recall lists for reinstatement shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) An offer to fill a vacancy that occurs in a classification series shall be accepted in writing by the first person on the certified recall list for that classification series for positions in classifications with pay ranges equivalent to or lower than the classification from which the employee was laid off or displaced before the next person on the recall list may be offered a vacancy. An offer to fill a vacancy shall be deemed to be declined if not accepted in writing within five working days.
(2) After the certified recall lists for each appointing authority and any eligible lists for that classification have been exhausted, the appointing authority provisional recall list shall be used for purposes of reinstatement as follows:
A. Vacancies occurring in the classification series for which a recall list exists, shall be accepted in writing by the first person on the provisional layoff list for that classification series for positions in classifications with pay ranges equivalent to or lower than the classification from which the employee was laid off or displaced from before the next person on the list may be considered for reinstatement. An offer to fill a vacancy shall be deemed to be declined if not accepted in writing within five working days.
(d) A laid off or displaced employee who chooses not to exercise his option to displace shall only be entitled to reinstatement to the classification from which the employee was laid off or displaced.
(e) Where an appointing authority has an employee on a recall list, the appointing authority shall not hire, promote or transfer into the classification or the classification series subject to the recall list except as provided in subsection (c)(2) hereof.
(f) Any employee reinstated under this rule shall not serve a new probationary period when reinstated; except any employee laid off or displaced while serving an original or promotional probationary period shall begin a new probationary period upon reinstatement.
