(A) Definitions. For purposes of this
rule, "inter-agency promotion" means the act of promoting an employee
from one agency to another agency with a different over-all appointing
authority. "Intra-agency promotion" means the act of promoting an
employee from one position to another within the same agency or over-all
appointing authority.
(B) Probationary period. All promotions will be for a
probationary period established in Chapter 123:1-19 of the Administrative
Code.
(C) Inter-agency promotion. If an employee accepts an
inter-agency promotion and is found to be unsatisfactory in the advanced
position, the receiving agency may remove the employee or may demote the
employee to a position within the receiving agency that is the same or similar
to the position the employee held at the releasing agency prior to promotion.
The employee has no right to resume a position with the releasing
agency.
(D) Intra-agency promotion. If an employee accepts an
intra-agency promotion and is found to be unsatisfactory in the advanced
position, the employee will be demoted to the position from which the employee
was promoted or to a similar position. Upon such demotion, the employee's
salary will be the same that the employee was receiving prior to promotion,
except for changes in pay range that may have occurred or any step increase to
which the employee would have been entitled in the lower
classification.
If an employee takes a civil service examination
for a classification having a higher base pay range than the employee holds at
the time of the examination and is appointed from the resulting eligible list
to a position in the same agency, this action will be considered a promotion so
far as the probationary period is concerned, and the employee will be demoted
in accordance with this rule if the employee's services are found
unsatisfactory.
(E) Right to appeal. Pursuant to section 124.27 of the Revised
Code, a probationary employee duly removed for unsatisfactory service does not
have a right to appeal the removal or reduction under section 124.34 of the
Revised Code.
