Torrance Municipal Code Art. 23 Reinstatement

a) Any person who has held a permanent position in the classified service and has completed his probationary period, and who has subsequently separated from his employment with the City without fault or delinquency, may at the request of the appointing authority and with the consent of the Civil Service Commission, be reinstated within one (1) year from the date of such separation to the bottom of the open eligible list for any classification in which he previously had permanent status.

b) Reinstatements to eligible lists for Police and Fire Safety classes shall be limited to the entrance level classes.

A Memorandum of Understanding between Management and a recognized employee organization may provide for a specific program of inactive status which will allow a recently terminated employee to be added to an open eligible list certification for a subsequent vacancy.

(Added by O-3028)

Any person who has received an appointment from an employment list, and who, during the probationary period, has been separated from his or her position may be restored to his or her original position on the employment list by the Civil Service Commission if it is found that the cause of such separation was not misconduct, delinquency, or inefficiency on the part of the employee. In the event the list from which the probationer was appointed is no longer in effect, his or her name may be placed at the bottom of the current employment list, provided, however, that names shall be placed on promotional employment lists only in the event that person remains an employee of the City and would have been eligible to compete in the examination which created said employment list.
