Torrance Municipal Code Art. 21 Recurrent Employees

The Civil Service Commission shall maintain departmental or divisional recurrent reemployment lists by classes for each department employing persons on a recurrent service basis. The names on such a list shall be grouped in accordance with their average efficiency rating during their entire service with the City, with those employees rated outstanding at the head of the list, followed by those rated above standard, standard, and below standard respectively. Employees rated unsatisfactory shall be omitted from the list.

When a recurrent appointment is to be made, the appointing authority, at his discretion, may appoint any one of those persons whose names appear in the highest group on the recurrent reemployment list who is available and willing to serve. Each group shall be exhausted before appointments are made from the next lower group.

a) The names of all persons on any recurrent reemployment list who receive an unsatisfactory efficiency rating, or who have not been employed from that list for more than one (1) year, shall be removed from said list. Names on reemployment lists may be removed, or withheld from appointment for the same reasons and in the same manner as from an eligible list.

b) When a person receives a permanent appointment in the classified service his name shall be removed from all recurrent reemployment lists.

c) The name of a recurrent employee who has been removed from the recurrent reemployment list by reason of absence for one (1) year may be restored to said list within one (1) year after being removed therefrom. Such restoration shall be to the same class of position as that occupied at the time the name was removed, but to the bottom of the list for said class.

(Added by O-3486)

The Civil Service Commission may authorize the transfer of an employee from a recurrent position to a similar recurrent or temporary position of the same class.

(Added by O-3486)

Recurrent employees may be released at any time and in any order as determined by the appointing authority.
