Wash. Admin. Code § 357-19-350 – May a permanent WGS employee accept an acting Washington management service (WMS) appointment and what notices must the employee and employer provide each other when an employee accepts the acting appointment?

Permanent WGS employees may accept acting appointments to WMS positions.

The employee must give the current employer at least 14 calendar days' written notice before moving to an acting WMS appointment. The current employer and employee may agree to waive or shorten the notice period.

When the current employer receives the employee's notice, the employer must notify the employee in writing of the employee's return right at the conclusion of the acting WMS appointment.

For purposes of this rule, written notice may be provided using alternative methods such as email, campus mail, the state mail service, or commercial parcel delivery in accordance with WAC 357-04-105.
