Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The definition of "reassignment" found in WAC 357-01-275 and 357-19-165 does not coincide with WAC 357-19-170. WAC 357-19-170 is the rule which grants the authority for an employer to reassign an employee. WAC 357-19-170 says an appointing authority may reassign an employee to a different position within the same class (no mention of a different class with the same salary range maximum). The proposed rule amendments to WAC 357-01-275 and 357-19-165 will correct this.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 41.06 RCW.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 41.06.150.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent:
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Kristie Wilson, 521 Capitol Way South, (360) 664-6408; Implementation and Enforcement: Department of personnel.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328.
