Who has reinstatement rights and how long does an employee have reinstatement rights?
An employee separated by a RIF has reinstatement rights to a position in State government for one year from the effective date of the RIF. An employee separated by a RIF may apply for any State job for which he meets the minimum training and experience requirements. After the employee exercises his reinstatement rights once, he no longer maintains his reinstatement right benefits; however he still retains recall rights for the remainder of the year from the effective date of the RIF.
