Transfer List

The Transfer List is a mechanism for current City of Vallejo employees to express interest in being considered for either a Lateral Transfer (same classification, different department, division, or team) or a Downgrading Transfer (voluntary demotion to a lower classification, either within the same department, division, or team, or a different department, division, or team).

What Happens After Being Placed on the Voluntary Transfer List?

• Your application will be assigned to the appropriate list.
• When a department receives a requisition for recruitment, they will review the transfer lists before conducting an open recruitment.
• The Recruitment & Selection Team will refer the names of those employees who have requested transfers for the relevant classification.
• Departments are required to consider these transfer requests but are not obligated to agree to them.

Downgrading Transfers

• If you apply for a Downgrading Transfer, you must indicate this in Question #2 of the Supplemental Questionnaire.
• Your application serves as the required request for a Downgrading Transfer.
• The department will review your request and may agree to it.
• If approved, the decision goes to the Civil Service Commission for a hearing.
• The outcome of the hearing determines whether the downgrading transfer is approved.

Lateral Transfers

• Lateral transfers involve internal moves within the same classification and do not affect current benefits.

Downgrading Transfers

• Downgrading transfers may impact existing benefits, especially if they involve moving between different bargaining units.

Application Process

1. Complete and submit a complete online application.
2. Identify in the supplemental questionnaire the classification for which you are seeking a transfer.
3. Your application should include the most up-to-date and accurate information about your work history.
4. You may be required to participate in supplemental questions, an oral panel interview, or other processes if requested by Human Resources or the hiring department.

Eligibility Criteria

• To be placed on the transfer list, you must have completed your probationary period in your current classification.
• For Lateral Transfers, the position you wish to transfer to must have the same salary range and similar qualifications as your current class title.
• For Downgrading Transfers, the position you wish to transfer to must be a lower classification than the one you currently hold, and you must meet the minimum qualifications of the lower classification.
