A broader area for advertisement may also be used where the appointing power determines that a broader advertising area is necessary to obtain an adequate qualified applicant pool or the appointing power determines that an adequate candidate group of persons with disabilities does not exist within the afore-stated geographic areas.(d) Alternatives to the advertising process set forth in subdivisions (a) and (b) may be allowed where the Executive Officer finds that such alternatives are at least as effective as the prescribed process in meeting established goals related to affirmative action for persons with disabilities and upward mobility.(e) Reassignments pursuant to section 250, subdivision (f) shall be exempt from the provisions of subdivision (a). Transfers and temporary assignments shall also be exempt from the provisions of subdivision (a) when any of the following circumstances are applicable: (1) The assignment is intended to remedy a particular employee's performance deficiency that has been identified through the performance evaluation process conducted pursuant to Government Code sections 19172 or 19992.2.(2) Provides a modified work assignment that is necessary to continue the employment of an injured or disabled employee.(3) Involves an assignment between positions under the same appointing power that falls within the same occupational group and level of responsibilities as the employee's classification and is done for purposes of affirmative action of persons with disabilities or achieving upward mobility goals.(4) The assignment is necessary to avoid the layoff or demotion of an employee or involuntary transfer of an employee to another classification or geographic location that would require a change of the employee's residence.Cal.
