Bumping Rights

Here is how the Civil Service Commission’s planned layoff rule revision would affect employee bumping rights: The bumping privilege now extends to all career (probational) employees, and to veterans holding indefinite appointments. ing Indefinite appointments. The change would:

THREE—The career employee who now is reinstated after voluntarily leaving government for less than 30 days drops to the third (or X) retention group, If he’s out of government more than 30 days, he drops to the B group. Under new rules, these employees would go into Career Conditional group—regardless of the length of the break in service, The new rules would give a better break to all reinstated career workers—especially those who left voluntarily, or remained out more than a year.

Furloughs

Under present Civil Service Commission layoff rules, employees facing layoffs can be separated outright—or placed on furloughs for periods up to a year. In effect, these furloughs operate as one-year layoff notices, the employee ordinarily leaves active duty at the end of the first 30 days. Under new rules, furloughs will be permitted only when an agency intends to call the employee back to duty within the 1-year period. |

Its opposition seems likely to scuttle any possibility an appeals system will be set up. An appeals system was r‘ecom-!
