§ 4408 Employee Transfer To Developmental Services

Key Takeaways

  • •If you work for the Director of Health and your job is about helping people with developmental disabilities, you might get moved to a different department called the State Department of Developmental Services.
  • •Your job, your position, and your rights stay the same even after you move to the new department.
  • •This rule doesn't apply to temporary workers or jobs that are not part of the civil service system.

Example

Imagine you work as a nurse for the Director of Health, helping kids with developmental disabilities. One day, your boss tells you that you're now working for the State Department of Developmental Services instead.

This law says that even though you're moving to a new department, you keep your same job, position, and rights. You're still a nurse, you still have the same job title, and you still get the same benefits.
