What is the policy for job transfers within the State of Illinois?

The State of Illinois has a policy regarding job transfers that is outlined in the Personnel Rules for the State of Illinois. According to the rules, a job transfer is defined as the assignment of an employee to a new position in the same classification in a different agency within the State of Illinois. Employees may request a job transfer by submitting an online job transfer request form to the Human Resource Office of the agency in which the employee is currently employed. Employees must submit their request at least 45 days before the proposed transfer date. If the position is available and the employee is qualified, the Human Resource Office will consider the request and start the transfer process. If the transfer is approved, the employee will be notified and the transfer will take effect on the requested date. The employee will be responsible for all costs associated with the transfer, such as relocation expenses. The rules also state that a job transfer is not a guarantee of job security, and an employee may be laid off or terminated for any reason.
