Alpine County Municipal Code Art. VIII Transfers

A department head may make transfers of employees from one class within the same salary range in the office or department to another class in the department provided the employee possesses the minimum qualifications for the position to which transferred. (Ord. 732 (part), 2019: Ord. 533 §8.01, 1991)

A. No employee shall be transferred to a position in another department unless prior to the transfer:

1. The affected employee possesses the minimum qualifications for the position to which he or she is being transferred;

2. The department head finds it to be in the best interests of the county to effect such a transfer. Prior to such a finding, the department head will confer with the affected department head or heads and attempt to obtain a consensus on the transfer. In the event the department heads are not able to reach a consensus the chief administrative officer will make the final decision.

B. All such transfers will be subject to a one-month evaluation period, during which the department head or heads will provide the county executive officer with input as to the progress of the transfer. (Ord. 758, 2025; Ord. 732 (part), 2019: Ord. No. 533 §8.02, 1991)

With the approval of the affected employee, a department head may temporarily promote a permanent employee to a regularly authorized position in a class having a higher salary range when the incumbent in such position is absent or when there is no incumbent for such position. Such temporary promotion will not exceed a period of ninety days unless a longer period is specifically authorized by the board. Such temporary promotion will not entitle the employee to additional compensation unless the appointment exceeds twenty working days, at which time the employee will be entitled to a five percent increase in salary commencing on the twenty-first working day of appointment. This increase will continue only for the duration of the appointment. At the termination of the appointment, the employee’s salary will return to its previous level. (Ord. 533 §8.03, 1991)

Employees who are employed at less than full-time may, at their option, assume additional hours, not to exceed full-time work, with their department or another department for employment of a temporary nature. Such employees will be compensated at their current salary rate when working within their current position classification and at the salary range set for temporary employment when working in another department. (Ord. 533 §8.04, 1991)
