General Information on Transfers
Under State Personnel Board Rules 250 and 430-433, you may transfer from one job class to
another without examination if you meet the minimum qualifications of the class to which
you wish to transfer, the levels of duties, responsibility, and salary of the two classes
are substantially the same and the two classes are not in the same series. The transfer
must not constitute a promotion, and the State may establish policies to limit transfer
to certain classes.
Salaries: "Substantially the same salary" means that the maximum salary of the highest
paying class you were permanently appointed to from an eligible list and the maximum
salary of the other class are no further apart than two salary steps minus $1. To
determine the maximum salary of a class to which you may transfer:
- Multiply the top step of your current class by 1.05;
- Round off to a whole number;
- Multiply that number by 1.05;
- Round off to a whole number;
- Subtract $1.
Be sure you are comparing the top salary rate for your class (and alternate range, if you
are in a "deep class"), not your own salary.
Duties and Responsibilities: The hiring department makes the final decision about what is
"substantially the same".
