§ 6.08.130. Reinstatement.

A.

Except in the case of employees reinstated pursuant to Civil Service Rule 17.01B, when an employee is reinstated following separation from county service, he shall be placed at the first step of the salary range for the position to which he is reinstated, as if he were entering county service for the first time, and shall have a new anniversary date. Employees reinstated pursuant to Civil Service Rule 17.01B shall receive salary step placement designated by the department head.

B.

When an employee is reinstated from a layoff list pursuant to Civil Service Rules, he shall receive the salary step rate designated by his department head, except that:

1.

If he is reinstated to the position he held immediately prior to separation, he shall not receive a step rate higher than the step rate he was on prior to separation;

2.

If he is reinstated to a different position than he held immediately prior to separation, he shall not receive a step rate greater than either of the following, whichever is the lesser:

a.

The top step-rate of the position to which he is reinstated.

b.

The step rate of the reinstatement position to which he would be entitled based on his length of prior service in that position and any closely related, equal, or higher-level positions. The director of personnel shall determine if positions are "closely related," "equal," or higher-level positions as used in this section.

C.

When an employee's compensation is determined by subsection A of this section, the date of reinstatement shall set a new anniversary date. When an employee's compensation is determined by subsection B of this section, he shall continue to have the same anniversary date he had prior to his layoff.
