Utah Admin. Code R477-6-9 - Career Service Status Change
(1) When management
changes an occupied schedule B position to schedule AC, AD, AR, AS, or AX,
management shall offer the career service employee in that position the
opportunity to convert to the new schedule code. The employee may, within 60
days from the date of offer, elect to convert from career service to career
service exempt.
(a) If the employee chooses to
convert, management shall offer the employee:
(i) an administrative salary increase of at
least 1/2% or up to the current salary range maximum; and
(ii) state paid term life insurance coverage
if determined eligible by the Group Insurance Office to participate in the Term
Life Program, Public Employees Health Plan, as provided in Section
R477-6-10.
(b) For an
employee at or above the current salary range maximum at the time of
conversation, management shall grant, in lieu of the salary adjustment from
Subsection (1)(a)(i), a one time bonus, as determined by the agency head or
designee, not to exceed limits in Subsection R477-6-7(1)(b).
(c) For an employee electing to convert to
career service exempt after the 60 day election period, management may not
grant the wage increase, but shall permit the employee to apply for the
insurance coverage through the Group Insurance Office.
(d) An employee electing not to convert to
career service exempt status retains career service status even though the
employee's position shall be designated as schedule AC, AD, AR, AS, or AX. When
these career service employees vacate these positions, any subsequent incumbent
is career service exempt.
(e)
Management shall communicate the conditions and limitations of this incentive
program to any employees currently or imminently affected by the
program.
(2) An agency
head may reorganize so that a current career service exempt position no longer
meets the criteria for exemption.
(a) An
affected employee:
(i) shall resume career
service status if the employee previously earned career service status and had
no break in service;
(ii) is no
longer eligible for severance pay under Section R477-6-10;
(iii) shall accrue annual leave based on
service time under Subsection R477-7-3(1); and
(iv) shall work with management and the Group
Insurance Office to discontinue exempt life insurance
coverage.
(b) Management
may not convert a career service exempt employee to career service status
unless:
(i) the employee had prior career
service status with no break in service; or
(ii) the employee was hired from a hiring
list under Subsection R477-4-2(7).
