What if I take a job as a layoff option but later either my employer or I determine it is not the right fit for my skills and abilities during a transition review period?
Your employer will determine if a transition review period is necessary, based in part on how clearly your skills match the duties of your new position. This is a period for both you and the employer to assess the fit of your competencies, skills, and abilities (WAC 357-46-120) to the duties of the position. If your employer determines that it is not a good match, you must be given a layoff option. (WAC 357-46-125) If you decide not to continue in the job (WAC 357-46-125), your name can be placed on any layoff list(s) for which you qualify. You can also request placement in the General Government Transition Pool. You can also discuss with your previous employer the feasibility of returning to your former position. You may voluntarily separate up to three times as a result of a single layoff option.
