More on the OES jobs....

OES Employees:

At times a current regular status OES employee may desire to apply for
a legacy (old world) temporary position. The temporary position may
have a higher salary, be in a more appealing work location, allow for
learning new skills, or in general just be more attractive to the
individual. We want these employees to retain regular status so they
can continue to receive all current benefits associated with being in regular status.

Our solution to this issue is to continue posting these legacy jobs as
temporary using perpetual postings. However, if a current regular
status employee applies and is selected, he/she will remain in regular
employment status. All legacy jobs are "time limited" in that they
will all go away when the new eligibility system rolls out. All
externally selected applicants will be hired as temporary. We will
add wording to the perpetual postings of temporary jobs to allow for this change.

If you are interested in applying for a temporary position in the
legacy system and you are a regular status OES employee,

* Apply to the temporary postings. Upon selecting an applicant for the
job, the hiring authority will determine if the selected applicant is
an OES regular status employee. If so, the hiring authority will
process the hire so that the selected applicant will be flagged as a
regular status employee, not a temporary. Hiring managers will receive
detailed instructions under separate cover.

* As a reminder, priority consideration rules do not apply to jobs in
the legacy system.

Current OES staff who previously accepted a temporary position and had
their employment status changed from regular status to temporary
status will be identified and his/her employment status will be
revised to regular status effective as soon as possible.

This new posting and selection process will be effective July 17, 2006.

Questions should be directed to State Operations through the
appropriate regional director.

Aw, Jerry. Tell it to us in simple English! Our minds are too tired to try to decipher this.....When/if the rollout happens, do those regular status employees go back to the jsap job or will they get to keep their "new title / position"?
