PROPOSED CHANGE 4 MERIT SYSTEM RULE
None. • An employee, separated from non-Merit
System County employment and appointed
to a Merit System position with no
break in County employment shall be
treated the same as Merit System trans-
fers only for the purpose of retaining
ongoing and unused County benefits
accumulated to the date of separation
from the non-Merit System position.
REASON FOR CHANGE
To provide the same flexibility afforded Merit System employees in transferring, all benefits
intact, to non -Merit System employment. to non-Merit System employees appointed to Merit
System positions. Currently, non-Merit System County employees are penalized in terms of
benefits, if they accept Merit System appointments, even though such appointments may be in
the County's best interest and may not have been initiated by the employee. Non-Merit System
employees cannot transfer into Merit System positions. They must compete for a Merit System
appointment in accord with the rules of the Merit Systrem. Thee procedures renire si7;pern-
tion from non-Merit System employment and payoff on benefits (qnnuel leave, portions or
!unused sick leave, etc.) resulting in benefit losses. Suoh 3 csoc could be consdercible as
in the case of sick leave neourculations and retiri:ment. credit. Failure to provide this
;flexibility would seriously inhibit movement around the management structure of capable,
iinnovative administrators.
