(LAYOFF OR TRANSFER IN LIEU OF LAYOFF)

State of California

MEMORANDUM

TO:

John Smith

DATE: March 5, 2008

Title

FROM:

Joe Jones

Personnel Office

SUBJECT:

Notice of Layoff or Transfer in-Lieu-of Layoff

The Department of Celestial Motorvation is required to reduce its staffing for the 2008-2009

Fiscal Year. All options to layoff, including transfers to vacant positions and the use of the State

Restriction of Appointments process, have been explored, and it is still necessary to abolish 45

filled positions.

Five positions in the class of Space Shuttle Driver must be abolished, and five employees must

be laid off, because there are no vacancies and no demotional paths. The positions to be

abolished are all in Barstow. The layoff is, however, being conducted on a statewide basis, and

the five employees in the class with the least seniority are located in San Diego (2), El Centro

(2), and Riverside (1). The five least-senior employees in Barstow, of which you are one, will be

offered the opportunity to involuntarily transfer to San Diego, El Centro, or Riverside. The entire

statewide seniority list is available for viewing during normal work hours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, in the Business Office, Department of Celestial Motorvation, 2001 Milky

Way, Barstow, CA.

Attached to this Notice is Department of Personnel Administration Form DPA-015. Part I of the

form does not apply to you, because there are no demotional paths available. In Part II, indicate

which, if any, of the transfers you are interested in, and, if more than one, prioritize your

choices. The decision of which position is offered to each of the five Space Shuttle Drivers in

Barstow will be based on seniority. For example, if three employees select Riverside as their

top priority, the employee with the highest seniority score will be offered the position. If you do

not wish to be transferred, please indicate in Part III which alternative you select. Complete Part

IV to assist us in placing you on a reemployment list. Reemployment list eligibility is for five

years. In Part IV, please indicate the types of appointment and time base and locations in

which you are interested. If you elect to be laid off and are not interested in immediate

reemployment, you may elect to have your name placed on an inactive reemployment list. You

may reactivate your name by writing to the State Personnel Board. Please sign the Form

DPA-015, insert your current telephone number and mailing address, and return original of the

Form to the Personnel Office no later than March 15, 2008. You should retain a copy of the

Form for your records and use.
