# **ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROVISIONS GOVERNING** **INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFER OF CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES**


I,                                           , am accepting an interdepartmental transfer

from the Department of                            to the Department of Corrections, in the

job                        , effective (date). I have        years

of continuous state service beginning                            .

By my signature, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the following statement indicated
by the marked line, explaining my status upon transfer to the Department of Corrections (initial
option):

I am in a classified position and I have continuous service prior to July 1,
1996. I understand that I will be serving a new working- test period with the
Department of Corrections. However, if I do not successfully complete this
working-test period, I keep permanent status rights to the last job in which I
held permanent status that is on a paygrade lower than the job to which I am
transferring.
GDC must utilize that job, and a vacant position must be available in the
company, or the employee retains no rights to employment and must be
separated.

I understand that I must sign this document prior to the effective date of the transfer to confirm this
offer of employment.

(Refusal to sign this form means withdrawal of the offer of employment by the Department of
Corrections).
