Wash. Admin. Code § 357-28-135 - How is an employee's salary determined when the employee is appointed to a position due to a layoff action?
(1) The base salary
of an employee who accepts a layoff option must have their salary determined as
follows:
(a) An employee who accepts a layoff
option to a different position with the same salary range keeps the same base
salary.
(b) An employee who accepts
a layoff option to a position with a lower salary range maximum must be placed
within the new range at a salary equal to the employee's previous base salary.
If the previous base salary exceeds the new range, the employee's base salary
must be set equal to step M of the new salary range.
(2) The base salary of an employee who is
appointed from an internal or statewide layoff list must have their salary
determined as follows:
(a) An employee who is
appointed to a position with the same range as the position from which the
employee was laid off must be placed within the range at a salary equal to the
employee's previous base salary.
(b) An employee who is appointed to a
position with a lower range maximum than the position from which the employee
was laid off must have the salary determined by the employer's salary
determination policy.
(3)
An employee whose previous base salary was at step M of a salary range when
accepting a layoff option to a position with a lower salary range maximum at
the time of being appointed must be placed at step M of the new salary
range.
(4) An employee whose
previous base salary was at step L of a salary range when accepting a layoff
option to a position with a lower salary range, any previous time spent at step
L will count towards the requirement to get to step M of the new salary
range.
