(a) all necessary and reasonable expenses for the cost of training the employee in the required job duties of the new classification; and

(b) all relocations costs, in accordance with the Department regulations, for any employee who relocates in order to accept a position that is not in the same or similar location; and

(c) any overtime, holiday credit, excess hours, or personal leave credits that are due to the employee on the date of transfer; and

(d) any special equipment that may be required because of the employee's disability.
