SB24 would move certain Alabama Career Center System employees from Bishop State, Southern Union, Bevill State community colleges and the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education to the Alabama Department of Labor under the Merit System, contingent on federal funding.
It transfers specified employees as of July 1, 2015 with no adverse effect on salary or benefits to the Alabama Department of Labor. The employees would be placed into Merit System classifications as determined by the State Personnel Department, and their years of service would be credited. They would be covered by the Merit System Act with all related privileges and responsibilities, and their service and removal would follow Merit System rules. The move would only happen if federal funding (from the Federal Workforce Investment Act or successor) is adequate, and the Department of Labor would contribute to the State Employees' Insurance Fund for retirees equal to state appropriations for retiree benefits, contingent on federal mandates.
Assigned Act No. 2015-307.
