Note on Internal Transfers
Members should keep in mind and watch for the new "Internal Transfer" postings required by the 2003-2005 PSS Contract. The Negotiating Note is as follows:
"Movement under this provision precedes other transfers under Article 7/1/1 of the agreement. When a permanent vacancy occurs in a probation/parole agent position, all permanent agents within both the same work unit and city will be electronically notified. Permanent agents who have been employed for at least six [6] months within both the same work unit and city as the vacancy shall have the right to transfer based upon seniority. Interested agents will have five [5] full working days to respond in writing. Pursuant to 7/5/1B, employees are limited to one [1] transfer every six months, under either this provision or 7/1/1."

The intent of this new provision is to allow permanent probation/parole agents to transfer within the same work unit and city based upon seniority, before statewide posting takes place. Please keep in mind that those individuals who exercise transfer rights under this new "Internal Transfer" procedure will not be able to transfer to other geographic locations for the following six months. We sometimes run into bumps in the road when new language is implemented, so please contact the union if you become aware of instances where this language is not being adhered to.
