(a) Any employee in the classified service who transfers voluntarily from one division or department to another shall lose seniority in the department or division that the employee is being transferred from and shall begin earning seniority in the new department or division.
(b) Whenever an employee in the classified service is laid off for lack of work or lack of funds, the employee's seniority rights remain only in the department in which the layoff occurs.
(c) The City Manager may transfer or reassign employees in the classified service from one department or division to another when at the City Manager's sole discretion such transfer or reassignment is warranted. Such transfers or reassignments shall be to a position in the new department or division whereby the transferee or re-assignee has the same pay and similar duties to the department or division from which the employee is being transferred. The employee shall not lose seniority in the department or division from which they are transferred or reassigned under the conditions of this subsection.
