Employees exercising return rights should provide as much advance notice as is practicable to the receiving employer. The employee must apply to return to classified service within thirty calendar days of:

•	Separation from employment in the exempt position, or
•	Separation from employment in any subsequent exempt position if there is no break in state service of more than thirty calendar days between initial and subsequent exempt appointments.

Employees who apply for return to classified service within thirty calendar days must be returned to a position at the time of separation from the exempt appointment or the time of application, whichever is later.
