A trial service employee who is removed from the new position for reasons other than misconduct and who was a regular employee in another position in the classified staff service immediately prior to his/her new appointment, shall be reinstated in his/her former position or in one of like status and pay. Where reinstatement through reversion is not possible because of the elimination of the previously held position or the unavailability of a position of like status and pay, the director shall declare a layoff under SCC 3A.10.020. Trial service reversion shall be conducted by the director upon recommendation of the employing official. (Added by Ord. 84-129 § 2, Nov. 21, 1984).
