§ 2490. Reinstatement and reemployment
A. Each employee who, during or at the expiration of his working
test period of probation following his promotion after being
certified from an appropriate employment list, is rejected and
refused permanent status in the position and class to which he
was promoted, shall be automatically reinstated to the
position from which he was promoted without his name being
placed upon any list.
B. All employees whose names appear upon the reinstatement list
for a respective class shall be reinstated in a position
thereof, in the reverse order from which their names were
placed upon the list, before any other appointment is made
therein.
C. All employees whose names appear upon the reemployment list
for a class from which they were laid off according to the
provisions of R.S. 33:2499, shall be reemployed in a position
thereof, or offered such appointment, in the reverse order
from which their names were placed upon the list for the
class, before any other employment or appointment is made in
it.
D. Any regular employee who resigns from a position in the
classified service may, with the prior approval of the board,
be reemployed in a position of the class or in a position of
any lower class for which he is qualified, provided, that the
reemployment is made within four years of the date of
resignation, and that no person whose name appears upon either
the reinstatement, promotional employment, or re-employment
list for a class to which any such person is reemployed is
willing to accept an appointment therein. Any person who is
reemployed shall be physically fit to perform the duties of
the position to which he is appointed. He shall furnish a
favorable medical certificate to the appointing authority and
the board after a recent examination by a practicing
physician.
E. Any regular employee who resigns or retires from a position
in the classified service may, with the prior approval of the board,
be reemployed in a position of the class in which he was employed
immediately preceding his resignation or retirement or in a position
in any lower class. Any such employee may be reemployed at any
time after his resignation or retirement, but he shall be qualified for
the position to which he is reemployed. In addition, the employee
shall be reemployeed with the seniority accumulated through the
date of reinstatement; however, a regular employee shall be
reemployed as provided in this Subsection only if his resignation
or retirement occurred as a result of the employee being unable to
perform the essential functions of his job upon sustaining any injury
that is compensable pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 10 of Title
23 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950.
Amended by Acts l985, No. 540, § 1; Acts 2012, No.595, § 1, eff. June 7, 2012.
| The Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Law was amended as a result of the 2012 Regular Legislative Session. As of this writing, the web sites of both the Legislature of the State of Louisiana and West Group (West Law) have not posted the civil service law in its final amended form. However, we have added the above section to reflect the changes in the law. The additions are temporarily underlined, and upon verification with the final publication of the law, will be incorporated into the existing language. |
