(a) A transfer is a movement to a different department, division or agency from a position in one classification to either a similar position in the same classification, or any position in the same salary group for which (i) the employee meets the requirements and (ii) the Transfer Review Board has provided approval.
(b) A voluntary demotion is the movement by an employee from his or her permanent classification to a classification in a lower salary group that involves duties that the employee is qualified to perform. A voluntary demotion is differentiated from a regular demotion in that it requires that the employee initiate such action rather than the City.
(c) The transfer or voluntary demotion of permanent employees shall be implemented in accordance with the rules governing transfers and voluntary demotions as adopted by the Toledo Civil Service Commission.
(d) The City may also request that an employee be transferred when such request would be for the good of the service. The request must be made to the Division of Human Resources and must be processed under the rules established by the Civil Service Commission.
(e) An employee transferred to a position in the same classification or voluntarily demoted as provided herein, shall be probationary for a period of thirty (30) compensated work days. If the employee transfers to a position in a different classification, the employee shall be probationary for a period of sixty (60) compensated work days. During this period either the employee or the City can request movement of the employee back to their former position. If the employee's former position has been filled, the employee filling that position may be removed and reinstated to their former position, and so forth.
(f) If an employee serving a probationary period established herein fails to work more than two (2) work days during this probationary period, then the employee's probationary period shall be extended by the additional number of work days that the employee did not work in excess of two (2).
