NAC284.394. Transfers initiated by appointing authorities.

     1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, an appointing authority may, after giving 5 working days’ notice, transfer for the convenience of this State any employee to another position in:

     (a) The same class; or

     (b) A comparable class with the approval of the Division of Human Resource Management.

     2. The notice required by subsection 1 need not be given if the transfer does not exceed 10 working days. If a bona fide or justifiable emergency exists, a transfer may be made immediately with the prior approval of the Division of Human Resource Management.

     3. A transfer pursuant to this section must not be made to harass or discipline an employee.

     4. A permanent employee who is required to transfer to a different geographical location and who declines the transfer has the same rights provided in NAC 284.630 as an employee who is laid off.

     5. If an employee requests a hearing to appeal an involuntary transfer pursuant to NRS 284.376, the appointing authority may temporarily assign the employee, on a per diem basis, to transfer pending disposition of the appeal. The employee may request leave pursuant to NAC 284.589 to prepare for the hearing relating to the involuntary transfer.

     6. As used in this section, “geographical location” has the meaning ascribed to it in NAC 284.612.
