Sec.5-241-1. Reemployment lists

(a) The names of permanent employees who are eligible for reemployment shall be arranged on appropriate reemployment lists in order of seniority in the state service and shall remain thereon for a period of two years.

(b) State service shall include military service as specified in Section 5-255 of the General Statutes, 1958 Revision, as revised. Seniority in state service shall be total length of state service without regard to classification or agency in which employed.

(c) Employees shall be entitled to specify for placement on the reemployment list for any or all classes in which they formerly had permanent status. In the event that an employee is appointed to a position from a reemployment list but such position is in a lower salary group than the class or classes for which his name is entered upon a reemployment list, he shall remain eligible for certification from the latter list.

(d) In the case of layoff or demotion due to lack of work, economy, insufficient appropriation, change in departmental organization, or abolition of position, the name of a permanent employee eligible for reemployment shall remain for a period of three years on the appropriate reemployment list for any class in which he had permanent status.

(e) Reemployment lists for classes treated competitively shall be maintained by the Commissioner of Administrative Services. Reemployment list for any classes treated noncompetitively shall be maintained by the appointing authority.

(f) An employee appointed from a reemployment list to a position in his former salary group will be appointed at the same step in such group as he held when he last worked in state service. An employee so appointed to a position in a lower salary will be appointed at the same step in the salary group as he held when he last worked in state service.
