2011 - 2012 LEGISLATURE
October 28, 2011 - Introduced by Representatives Wynn and Knilans. Referred to
Committee on Homeland Security and State Affairs.
AB347,1,2
1An Act to create 230.31 (1m) of the statutes;
relating to: transfer policy in the
2state civil service system.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current state civil service law permits transfers among positions in state
government, but only if authorized by the administrator of the division of merit
recruitment and selection in the Office of State Employment Relations
(administrator). Under rules promulgated by the administrator, if an employee
transfers to another position in the same state agency and the employee is removed
from that position before completing a satisfactory probationary period, the
employee has the right to be restored to his or her former position or to a position for
which the employee is qualified in the same pay range or pay rate.
This bill provides that if an employee transfers to a position in the same state
agency in which the employee is currently employed, the employee has no right of
restoration to his or her former position or to any other position after the employee
has held the new position for 30 days. Consequently, if an employee is removed from
the new position after this 30 day period, the employee does not have the right to be
restored to his or her former position or to any other position.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
