Section 15.04.01.141 - CALCULATION OF RETENTION POINTSThere will be an evaluation of all employees in the classification in the agency or organizational unit affected by the reduction in force based on a retention point system. Retention points are derived from experience as described in performance evaluations, classified credited state service, and veterans' preference as described in Rule 141.03. The appointing authority will determine a process for the impartial assessment of evaluations to assign points as follows:
Exemplary Performance | - | .100 points |
Solid Sustained Performance | - | .075 points |
Achieves Performance Standards | - | .050 points |
Does Not Achieve Performance Standards | - | .0 points |
01.No Performance Evaluation on File for a Twelve-Month Period. All credited state service for which there is no performance evaluation will receive seventy-five thousandths (.075) points per hour.02.Calculation of Retention Points Since Last Evaluation. The most recent performance evaluation should be used to pro-rate retention points when calculating credited state service since that evaluation, unless that evaluation occurred more than two thousand eighty (2,080) hours from the date of calculation. In such cases, points are calculated in conformance with Rule 141.01.03.Veterans' Preference. Veterans as defined in Title 65, Chapter 2, Idaho Code, will receive preference by the addition of retention points equivalent to three (3) years of service at a level that achieves performance standards.04.Calculation Date Cutoff. No points will be calculated for the sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the layoff.05.Audit of Retention Points. Each employee is entitled to an audit of retention points by an independent auditor designated by the administrator in cases of dispute between the appointing authority and the employee. The request for audit must be filed with the appointing authority within five (5) calendar days of the employee's receipt of layoff notification. The decision of the independent auditor is binding on both parties unless an appeal is filed within thirty-five (35) calendar days from the date of the auditor's notification to the affected parties.Idaho Admin.
