Section 599.854.1 - State Restriction of Appointments Program Eligibility - Excluded Employees(a) To participate in the SROA Program the appointing power must first demonstrate to the Department, that for each class requested an employee surplus exists which, unless eliminated, would result in layoffs.(b) After certification by the Department that the agency's employee surplus cannot be resolved through voluntary transfers, voluntary demotions, reduced worktime or other voluntary means, the Department shall authorize the use of the SROA Program for employees who are facing layoff or demotion in-lieu-of layoff. Employees in the class(es) of layoff will be placed on the SROA lists based on the following criteria: (1) Employees who may be subject to layoff or demotion-in-lieu of layoff will be considered as eligible for the SROA Program.(2) Additional employees may be placed on SROA for the class(es) of layoff when the Department determines that their participation in the SROA Program will help to prevent the layoff of other employees.(c) With the approval of the Department, the appointing power may restrict the organizational subdivision and/or the geographical location of those employees eligible for the SROA Program, when the organizational and geographical parameters of the layoff have been similarly restricted.(d) Initial SROA eligibility approval for employees facing layoff, demotion-in-lieu of layoff and involuntary transfer, shall be granted for 120 calendar days.(e) The Department may extend the initial SROA eligibility period up to an additional 120 calendar days when it has been determined that:(1) a substantial number of the surplus employees have not been placed in other agencies, or(2) an extension of the SROA eligibility period would likely result in additional SROA placements.Cal.
