31060.7.2 Departmental Restriction of Appointments The DROA process is intended to assist in the placement of surplus employees resulting from administratively approved program changes or budget-induced position reductions and to avoid a layoff. This process applies to all appointments except: • Emergency appointments. • Mandatory reinstatements. • Promotions in place that do not result in a true vacancy (e.g., Staff Services Analyst to Associate Governmental Program Analyst). Departmental Placement Coordinator Responsibilities The departmental placement coordinator shall: • Publish and distribute the list of classes for which approval is required prior to appointment. • Update the list as necessary. • Upon notification from the IPO that a surplus exists, submit a memorandum to the LRB requesting union notification of the surplus. • When the union has been notified, send an informational surplus employee memorandum to all employees in the affected classification(s). • Review requests to fill vacancies on an exceptional basis or when no interest in the vacant position has been expressed by the DROA candidates. • Take or recommend appropriate appointment actions. • Actively monitor the voluntary placement of surplus employees to appropriately classified vacant positions. • If necessary, work with the hiring authority, the Labor Relations Office and the appropriate control agencies to coordinate involuntary transfers and/or an employee layoff. The informational surplus employee memorandum shall include a current list of vacancies in the affected employee's classification. The employee will be given the opportunity to voluntarily seek a vacant position. If voluntary placement options are unsuccessful, the employee shall be reassigned to a different location or a comparable classification in the same location. Institutional Personnel Officer Responsibilities The IPO shall submit timely monthly lists of current and anticipated vacant positions for the classes on DROA directly to the departmental Personnel Officer. Prior to filling a position listed on the restricted hiring list, the IPO shall take the following steps: • Contact the IPO of the organization where the surplus exists to obtain the names and addresses of the employees on DROA. • Send out a CDC Form 1486, Departmental Restriction of Appointment (DROA) Clearance and Waiver, to all affected employees. Telephone contacts may be made but shall be followed up with a CDC Form 1486. • Secure approval to fill the vacancy from the Personnel Operations Analyst if no interest is expressed by the employees on DROA. This approval only applies to the DROA restrictions and is not intended to replace or supersede other hiring requirements. Such requests for approval may be by telephone but shall be confirmed in writing. • Complete a CDC Form 1162, State of California Departmental Restriction of Appointments Confirmation Letter, for each classification. • Submit a copy to the Personnel Operations Analyst within ten calendar days after verbal approval is received and to the IPO at the surplus institution for audit purposes. • Retain a copy for the originator ’ s files. Special Exceptions Requests for exceptions (including LT and intermittent appointments) to this process shall: • Be signed by the appropriate hiring authority or any member of the Director ’ s Executive Staff. • Be forwarded to the Personnel Operations Analyst for review and approval. • Provide the following information: o The nature of the critical need and why identified DROA eligibles cannot meet the needs of the position. o A copy of the position duty statement. o The consequence if any exception is not granted. The projected time frame for any employee to remain on the DROA list is approximately 120 days. Within this 120 days, the following activities take place: • The classification is placed on DROA and frozen to preclude appointments to the class without obtaining appropriate DROA clearances. • The Personnel Operations analyst notifies the employees in the affected class of the action while simultaneously notifying the LRB so they can notify the union. • The Personnel Operations analyst actively monitors the placement of surplus employees to appropriately classified vacant positions. If the employee is not placed, they are given an official involuntary transfer notification 60 days prior to the proposed action. 31060.8

53130.9 Assignments Inmates shall be assigned to appropriate work/academic/vocational programs by classification committee action. Ethnic balances shall be considered when making assignments. Pending assignment to a permanent work/training program, or when a regular program is temporarily suspended, inmates may be assigned, with or without their consent, to any work/training program decided upon by a classification committee or staff member responsible for the assignment of inmates. Each prison shall establish Bridging Education Programs as work training incentive assignments to provide education programming. Inmates who are undergoing reception center processing, and are day-for-day credit eligible per PC § 2933, will be assigned to the BEP upon their arrival at the reception centers. Inmates who are day-for-day credit eligible and housed in general population institutions will be eligible to be assigned to the BEP. Participation in the BEP will be evaluated on course curriculum, instructor evaluation, and completed assignments. Assignment to an approved BEP shall qualify as a full-time assignment in work group A-1. Inmates with the following case factors shall not be placed in Bridging Education Programs: • Inmates who do not meet the criteria to earn day-for-day credits per PC § 2933, or are sentenced to an indeterminate term, who are undergoing reception center processing. • Inmates who do not meet the criteria to earn day-for-day credits per PC § 2933, or are sentenced to an indeterminate term, who are housed at a general population institution. • Inmates who are housed in segregated housing (e.g., ASU, SHU, PSU, etc.). • Inmates housed in facilities where the BEP is not available (e.g., CCF, DMH, etc.).

86080.3 Basis for Classifying Information as Confidential Records will be classified as confidential according to the information they contain and not according to title, label, or origin. The following criteria will apply to classifying information as confidential: Confidential by Statute Access to state and federal criminal history records is restricted to the parolee, the parolee’s attorney, and persons and agencies listed in PC 11105. Medical, Psychological, and Psychiatric Reports A report prepared by departmental medical or psychiatric staff will be classified as confidential only if it meets specified criteria. Possible disturbance to the parolee or impairment of the treatment relationship is not a valid reason for classifying information as confidential unless disclosure might result in suicide attempts by the parolee. A report classified as confidential will contain a statement of the reason for the classification. Victim/Witness Notification All requests by a victim, witness, next-of-kin, or immediate family member as defined in Section 3000 of Title 15 for notification/special condition of parole, and any responses to such requests shall be classified as confidential and filed in the confide ntial sections of the inmate’s/parolee's field file and electronic file. (Refer to DOM 72060.1, Notices.) Threatens the Safety of a Person Information which, if disclosed, would endanger the health and/or safety of any person and/or might lead to retaliation against any person(s) will be classified as confidential. Another Person’s State and/or Federal Criminal History Information regarding another person’s criminal history, which is not a matter of public record (e.g., a crime partner's cumulative case summary), will be classified as confidential. Promise of Confidentiality Information should be classified as confidential only if it is judged to be highly sensitive and there was a promise of confidentiality. Threatens the Security of a Facility Information that, if disclosed, might threaten the security of any jail, prison, or similar facility will be classified as confidential. Information Classified as Confidential by Other Agencies If departmental staff retains a confidential classification imposed by the agency that originated the information, the parolee may be referred to that agency for disclosure. California Department of Public Health Information classified as confidential by the California Department of Public Health may only be declassified if the departmental staff physician determines that its content does not warrant classification as confidential. If it is decided that the confidential classification will remain, the physician will note the reason on the report. Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Information classified as confidential by the DJJ (formerly the California Youth Authority) will be reviewed and classified by departmental staff according to its content. The reviewer should contact the originator of the document or the DJJ’s Central Off ice before declassifying it. Reports from Other Law Enforcement Agencies Reports from other law enforcement agencies, which are classified as confidential by the originating agency, will retain that classification. The parolee, attorney, or designated person may be referred to the originating agency for those records. Departmental Staff Correspondence with Legal Counsel If a parolee’s record contains correspondence between departmental staff and legal counsel, the correspondence will be classified as confidential if it discloses CDCR's position in potential or pending litigation. This criterion applies to writings that r eflect an attorney’s impressions, conclusions, opinions, legal research or theories; and correspondence that discusses the issue or facts of a case, requests an action that is not routine, suggests the outcome of a case, or recommends legal strategy. 86080.4

15090.2.2 Personnel Operations Personnel Operations is divided into two service functions: Personnel Operations Section (Field) and Personnel Operations Section (Central Office and Parole). The Personnel Operations Sections provide managers and supervisors with technical personnel management advice concerning selection, classification, and compensation as well as merit issues. As an extension of the DPA and SPB, section staff ensures that appointments and assigned duties meet all legal and classification requirements. Additionally, these sections are responsible for maintenance and revision of CDCR ’s classification plan. In this capacity, staff develops proposals for control agency approval regarding new/revised classification and special salary actions such as recruitment and retention differentials. The section staff are responsible for reviewing proposed adverse personnel actions to determine compliance with SPB standards and providing consultation to management on adverse personnel action procedures and processes. The staff also provide guidance, direction, and training to institution personnel offices and headquarters’ liaison staff on delegated matters. 15090.2.3

31040.4.8 Temporary Modified Work Assignment Revised July 1, 2020 (a) A TMWA temporarily allows an employee with documented temporary medical limitation(s) or restriction(s), which affect the ability to perform one or more of the essential functions, and requires the waiver of one or more essential functions of the emplo yee’s current classification and position, to remain working or return to work after an injury or illness. A TMWA is intended for utilization when employees cannot be accommodated with an RA or an LTLDA, and provides employees the opportunity of a temporary assignment with duties that meet the employee’s documented medical limitation(s) or restriction(s). (1) The HA may authorize a TMWA without regards to the employee’s classification or position. A TMWA is only offered as a transitional, short- term program to employees who are expected to be returned to regular-duty status within the time frames specified in this section. (2) A TMWA shall not exceed 90 calendar days. Extensions will be considered case-by-case, based on a written request from the employee and supporting documentation from the employee’s health care provider. However, in no circumstance shall an extension be granted if it would make the total duration of a TMWA, LTLDA, or any combination of the two, exceed 360 calendar days for the same injury or illness. (3) A TMWA is not a right or entitlement, but is based on availability and operational needs. (4) TMWAs shall be based on the employee’s medical limitation(s) or restriction(s), and the needs of the Department. (5) Employees placed in a TMWA shall maintain all mandatory professional licensure, certification, training, and qualifications appropriate to their regular- duty classification provided the professional licensure, certification, training, or qualifications are not in conflict with any documented medical limitation(s) or restriction(s). (6) Employees resuming regular-duty shall be retrained when applicable. (7) TMWAs would generally be to assignments with limited inmate/parolee contact and less strenuous than the employee’s regular assignment. (8) A vacant position or post is not needed when assigning a TMWA. (9) Probationary employees who are placed in a TMWA shall be considered temporarily absent from their appointment classification and shall be subject to the probationary period extension provisions of CCR Title 2, Article 14, Section 321. (10) It is the employee’s responsibility to provide immediate notice if restriction(s) or limitation(s) change. A TMWA may not be authorized if the employee’s health care provider fails to specify a termination date of the limitation(s) or restriction(s). (11) The HA may request a Department-ordered Fitness for Duty Evaluation (per GC 19253.5) if the potential exists that the employee’s medical limitation(s) or restriction(s) may be deemed permanent. (12) Duties and/or essential functions associated with a TMWA shall be made available to the health care provider. (13) For institutions, the HA shall establish and maintain a DOM Supplement. (14) The RTWC and HA or designee shall work together to: (1) identify a potential TMWA, (2) monitor and track the duration of approved TMWAs, and (3) document approved TMWAs in writing to include acknowledgement between the employee, the employee’s TMWA Su pervisor, and the HA or designee, utilizing the CDCR Form 3050, (4) monitor and process extension requests timely. (15) Upon identifying a TMWA and prior to placement, the employee shall be required to sign the CDCR Form 8019, per DOM Section 33010.25. (16) If an employee is assigned to a TMWA and an LTLDA subsequently becomes available which meets their medical limitation(s) or restriction(s), the employee will be moved to the available LTLDA. (17) Peace Officer employees shall only perform non-peace officer functions while assigned to a TMWA. During a TMWA post or shift, employees shall not wear a uniform, shall not display a badge, and shall not use or have under their control safety equipment, including but not limited to, restraint gear, chemical agents, batons, firearms, or operate an enforcement vehicle. (18) Employees assigned to a TMWA will essentially be an extra employee working in an assigned area with temporary additional workload needs performing meaningful work. The number of TMWA available will vary dependent on the level of meaningful work available at individual work locations. (19) Employees shall not engage in outside employment that is inconsistent with their medical limitation(s) or restriction(s). (20) Overtime is not permitted while in a TMWA. (21) Swaps are not permitted while in a TMWA. (22) Eligibility for pay differentials may change while in a TMWA. (23) Eligibility for a range change may change or be delayed while in a TMWA. (24) Order of the TMWA priority will be determined by the date and time medical substantiation describing the employee’s limitation(s) or restriction(s) is received by the Return to Work Office (email, fax, in person). Tiebreakers shall be made by state service seniority. (25) Fraud, Misuse, or Abuse: Any employee who willfully makes false statements, misrepresents circumstances, or fails to disclose material facts, shall be subject to progressive discipline up to and including termination, in addition to civil, criminal, or pension consequences. (26) Refusal by an eligible employee to accept a TMWA may result in the employee being placed on leave status, paid by using available leave credits, and/or unpaid, if the employee has limitation(s) or restriction(s) that prevent them from performing the essential functions of their position with or without an RA. Refusal may also result in the loss of workers’ compensation wage loss benefits, such as Industrial Disability Leave, Enhanced Industrial Disability Leave, or Temporary Disability. (27) All TMWA denials (initial or extension requests) shall be submitted to the Division of Adult Institutions Associate Director or comparable Division designee within three business days for a second level review which will include RTWSS. (28) For CCHCS, TMWA denials (initial or extension requests) that are appealed by the employee shall be submitted to the CCHCS, Disability Management and Support Services, Section Chief, within three business days for a second level review which may include CCHCS Office of Legal Affairs and/or the hiring authority. 31040.4.9

31060.5.4 Ex-Offender Appointments Revised July 1, 2015 The Department prohibits discrimination on the basis of ex-offender status.

Out-of-Class Assignments Out-of-class assignments (also called acting assignment
...ees are assigned duties and responsibilities that are within the scope of their classification. Employees shall not work out-of-class on a regular, ongoing basis. Current bargaining unit language, as well as DPA Rule 599.810, states that “an employee may be required to perform work other than that described in the specification for their classification for up to 120-consecutive calendar days...
31060.6.3.3 Out-of-Class Assignments Out-of-class assignments (also called acting assignments) shall be used only as the last option when filling a position. Limited-term (LT) appointments are the appropriate means to fill critical positions on a short-term basis. Advance planning and scheduling can reduce an operation's dependency on out-of-class assignments. By using established certification lists, qualified employees can be appointed immediately to vacant critical positions. Misuse of out-of-class assignments results in grievances (circumventing list procedures), higher costs (lost person hours, working on out-of-class claims), the potential loss of delegated testing authority and the centralization of approval for all out-of-class assignments. However, bonafide emergency out- of-class assignments may be used. Guidelines Managers and supervisors shall ensure that all employees are assigned duties and responsibilities that are within the scope of their classification. Employees shall not work out-of-class on a regular, ongoing basis. Current bargaining unit language, as well as DPA Rule 599.810, states that “an employee may be required to perform work other than that described in the specification for their classification for up to 120-consecutive calendar days during a fiscal year.” This language is intended to provide appointing authorities the flexibility necessary to meet short-term, temporary staffing needs. All viable alternates shall have been exhausted before any out-of-class assignment is approved. An employee may be assigned out-of-class work for more than 120 days if the additional out-of-class work is required to meet a need that cannot be met through other administrative or civil service alternatives. Prior approval from DPA is required. Such assignments shall be subject to termination by the Director of DPA upon determination that other reasonable alternatives do exist. The “120 - consecutive calendar days during a fiscal year” applies to both the assignment and the individual. The same assignment cannot extend beyond July 1 or a new fiscal year resulting in an individual serving in the assignment for more than 120 calendar days. Such situations would require DPA approval to extend beyond 120 calendar days. Recent interpretation from DPA states that good personnel management practice precludes an indefinite out-of-class assignment by rotating employees in and out of the assignment. The 120 days should be a sufficient period of time to resolve and out-of-class situation. Rotations are inappropriate and circumvent the intent of the out-of-class provisions. The out-of-class provisions apply to both rank and file and non-represented employees. Managerial employees are not covered under DPA Rule 599.810 and there is no authorization to assign the out-of-class duties. Criteria Out-of-class assignments may be made only to established positions and only if it can be demonstrated that: • The assignment is needed to meet a specific operating need. • The need cannot be feasibly met through civil service procedures or other administrative alternatives. • The employee is assigned duties which are clearly outside the scope of their current class and which include the full range of duties of the assigned class. The out of class duties must be performed for more than 50 percent of the employee’s time. • The supervisor requests the employee, in writing and in advance of the assignment, to perform the duties of a higher class. No out-of-class assignments shall be considered for approval retroactively. The grievance process is the appropriate method for employees to obtain payment if their out-of-class assignment was not approved accordance with established guidelines. No out-of-class assignments to “ MCR NONE ” classes shall be approved retroactively. Operating Needs An operating need may exist when leaving a position vacant results in: • Inadequate management or supervision of a unit or function that cannot be offset from other sources. • Risk to public health and safety. • The interruption of public service. • An economic loss or program delay. Alternatives If a need is established, the following alternatives should be considered before an employee is given an out-of-class assignment: • Delaying or canceling other less critical work. • Temporarily redirecting the unit ’ s staff, workload, or resources in order to “work around” the vacancy. • Filling the position with a locally available person on a temporary basis through another civil service procedure such as emergency, LT, temporary authorization (TAU), or intermittent appointment. • Modifying the duties temporarily until the position can be filled. Appropriate Assignments Examples of out-of-class assignments that are viewed by the Department as appropriate consist of the following: • An immediate assignment involving risk of life, property, or critical operation of the Department. • Back-up for an employee absent on extended sick leave. • A vacant position that needs temporary filling until an employment list is available. • The assignment is temporary in nature, with no definite time period but less that 120 calendar days, and all viable recruitment efforts to fill the position have been exhausted. Inappropriate Assignments Examples of inappropriate/out-of-class assignments are as follows: • An assignment where no budgeted positions exist. • A certification list is available so that a LT appointment could be made, the desired employee is on the list but is not reachable, or the list was canvassed but the candidate group is undesirable. • An assignment was made to bypass the Departmental Restrictions of Appointment (DROA), State Restrictions of Appointment (SROA), and/or re-employment list process. • The assignment can be covered by a T&D assignment, a reinstatement, an emergency appointment, or a TAU appointment. • An intermittent pool of candidates is available. • Changes have been made to a class specification and/or allocation standards and the employee claims to have been working in a higher classification prior to the effective date of the change. • The employee requests some of the higher level duties for career development, personal convenience, or gain. • In the following situations, unless pre-approved by DPA: o To positions or levels requiring classification pre-approval by DPA (MCR NONE). o To positions or levels not authorized in the appointing power ’ s budget. Before considering pre-approval in these situations, DPA will require specific written notice from the DOF that funding is available. o Where the employee ’ s class specification provides for the proposed work assignment. When any of these options are considered, the Personnel Operations Analyst shall be contacted for guidance and interpretation. Process The supervisor shall prepare the following documents: • A request for approval to make an out-of-class assignment. • A CDC Form 1821, Out-of-Class Checklist . • A duty statement. • An organizational chart. • A CDC Form 1820, Out-of-Class Justification For Assignments Exceeding 120 Days . The Out-of-Class Checklist shall provide the information necessary for the review and evaluation of the request and for completion of the Out-of-Class Justification. The checklist will also serve as an audit trail for peer audits, payment of claims, and examination eligibility. The document shall be forwarded to the appropriate approval levels in accordance with Section IX of the Out-of-Class Checklist. Approvals All out-of-class assignments requests require the approval of the IPO or Personnel Operations Analyst to ensure that all viable alternatives have been exhausted before the request is forwarded for final approval. Prior final approval is required for out-of-class assignments as follows: Duration of Assignment Documents Required Approval Required Up to 60 Calendar Days Request for Approval Out-of-Class Checklist IPO or Personnel Operations Analyst 61 to 120 Calendar Days * The above The above and Personnel Operations Analyst Over 120 Calendar Days ** The Above and Out- of-Class Justification Form (2 Copies) The Above and the Departmental Personnel Officer, the Chief Deputy Directors, and DPA * When the hiring authority becomes aware that the assignment may extend beyond 60 days, the Personnel Operations Section shall be notified. The written request shall be received by Personnel Operations Section no later than day 50 of the assignment. ** Requests shall be received by Personnel Operations Section no later than day 100 of the assignment. The Departmental Personnel Officer shall forward approved requests to the DPA for review. The departmental personnel officer may deny a claim if it does not meet existing criteria. When a request is inconsistent with departmental policy, the Personnel Operations Section shall return the unapproved request directly to the hiring authority. Log/Record For audit purposes each approval authority shall keep a log/record of all out- of-class assignment requests and/or out-of-class compensations claims. Compensation See DOM 31150.9 for out-of-class compensation guidelines. 31060.6.3.3.1

31060.6.4 Limited-Term Appointments The Department has authority to make and extend LT appointments. Initial appointments shall be limited to up to one year. The extension shall be limited to up to one additional year and may be considered when a permanent appointment is likely to cause a layoff, demotion, or mandatory transfer requiring a change of residence upon the conclusion of the temporary staffing need. Requirements Eligible lists shall not be circumvented by a LT appointment to a permanent position. Positions which are of limited duration shall not be filled on a permanent basis since this removes the appointee from consideration for true permanent positions and bestows unwarranted permanent status. Permanent rather than LT appointments may be more appropriate when: • The temporary vacancy is in a classification subject to high turnover. • New positions are established on a temporary basis pending approval of the State budget, since the positions shall be converted to permanent when the budget is adopted. Local Approval In the following situations, the hiring authority may authorize one or more LT appointments, provided the total time of an employee ’ s appointment(s) does not exceed one year. • Seasonally recurrent positions. Appointments to non-testing or TAU only classes may be made for a period of up to nine months in one transaction. • Positions established for a specific study or survey. Research projects may require the creation of specific classes for the duration of the project. • Temporary vacancies. A person being on a leave of absence for one year or less. • The appointment of a permanent employee to a different position on a LT basis. Headquarters Approval The following appointments require advance approval from the Personnel Operations Section: • Temporary filling of vacancies during or pending a reorganization or possible layoff situation. • Vacancies filled in anticipation of reorganization or layoff expected to span a period of more than one year may be filled by permanent appointment. This approval process shall ensure consistency with the Department ’ s restriction of appointment process. Two-Year Appointments One-year, limited-term appointments may be extended for up to a total period of two years upon prior approval by the Chief, Personnel Management. All such requests shall be forwarded to the Personnel Operations Section at least 30 days prior to the effective date, and include the following information: • Name, social security number, and civil service classification of employee. • Period of time involved. • Justification for the need to authorize a LT appointment to exceed one year. The anticipated number of limited-term appointments, the number and location of permanent positions in the classification, turnover rate for the classification, budgetary trends, and issues which impact the Department ’ s ability to absorb permanent employees either locally or department wide shall be considered when the justification is prepared. Justification File For audit purposes, the Personnel Operations Section shall file and retain for three years the hiring authority's requests and justifications for appointments to exceed one year. 31060.6.5

(b) Training Defined: The process whereby California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) employees, either individually or in groups, participate in a formalized, structured course of instruction to acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities for their current or future job performance. These organized activities shall contain measurable learning objectives that can be evaluated in a classroom setting or verified by completing On-the-Job Training. (c) The Commission on Correctional Peace Officer Standards and Training (CPOST) was established under the California Penal Code, sections 13600 through 13603. CPOST shall review all training as defined in those sections. This includes newly implemented or current training that has been substantially revised which is utilized to change or modify the knowledge, skills, and abilities for rank-and-file state correctional peace officers, as well as first and second line state correctional peace officers. CPOST will not review training as described in policy and informational memoranda that does not change essential functions or behavior norms in carrying forth a specific duty or job. (d) Job-Required Training Job-required training is designed to assure adequate performance in a current assignment. This includes orientation training made necessary by new assignments or technology, refresher training, and training mandated by law or other state authority. (e) Job-Related Training Job-related training is designed to increase job proficiency or improve performance above the acceptable level of competency established for a specific job assignment and prepares the employee to assume increased responsibilities in their current assignment. (f) Upward Mobility Training Designed to provide career movement opportunity for employees within classifications or job categories designated by the department as upward mobility classifications. Includes training to facilitate movement of employees from designated classifications into other classifications with increased career opportunities.

33010.18.2 Seniority Status Revised August 16, 2016 The Officers’ (including intermittent employees) seniority shall be in accordance with MOU, Bargaining Unit 6. Seniority for employees (including intermittent employees) in all other bargaining units shall be in accordance with their respective MOUs. Correctional Sergeant and Correctional Lieutenant seniority shall be based on: • Total service in class as a permanent employee without a break in service; or • Any qualifying pay periods earned in limited-term assignments, in class, if the employee changes tenure from limited-term to permanent without a break in service. When a limited-term assignment is terminated or when an employee is rejected on probation, i.e., Captain back to Correctional Lieutenant and/or Correctional Lieutenant back to Correctional Sergeant, the seniority accrued in the higher classification shall be calculated into the former supervisory classification to which the employee is returning. An employee who accepts a transfer to a non-custody classification but does not leave the Department shall receive credit for the previous seniority earned upon returning to his or her former classification. Ties in seniority shall be broken first by considering an employee most senior based on combining total class seniority with the total continuous state service. If a tie still exists, it shall be broken by examining the last four digits of each employee’s social security number. The employee with the highest four digits will be considered the most senior. For example, last four digits 6321 are higher than last four digits 1978. A break in State service (as defined by CCR, Title 2, Division 1, Section 6.4) of 12 months or more shall result in the loss of all seniority credits. 33010.19
