Section R2-5B-205 - Change from Covered to Uncovered Service

A. Voluntary election. A covered employee may voluntarily elect to become an at will uncovered employee without a change in assignment. Such an election is subject to the approval of the head of the employing agency and the Director. If approved, the effective date of the employee's change to uncovered service shall be the first day of the pay period immediately following the Director's approval.

B. Change in assignment. Except for a special assignment, a covered employee who voluntarily accepts a change in assignment to a position that is not in the covered service, regardless of whether the voluntary change in assignment is a promotion, demotion, or lateral transfer, is an at will uncovered employee. The effective date of the employee's change to uncovered service shall be the same as the effective date of the change in assignment. A special assignment is not a change in assignment.

C. Return to state employment. A covered employee who has a break in service and returns to employment in an agency in the State Personnel System in any capacity shall be an at will uncovered employee, unless the appointment is to a position in the covered service.
