14 require, the appointing authority shall report to the director
15 [his] an observation of the work of the employe and [his] a
16 judgment as to the willingness and ability of the employe to
17 perform [his] the duties satisfactorily and as to [his] the
18 employe's dependability. At any time during [his] the
19 probationary period, the appointing authority may remove an
20 employe if in the opinion of the appointing authority the
21 probation indicates that such employe is unable or unwilling to
22 perform [his] the duties satisfactorily or that [his] the
23 employe's dependability does not merit [his] continuance in the
24 service. Upon such removal the appointing authority shall
25 forthwith report [his] this action to the director and to the
26 employe so removed. No more than three employes shall be removed
27 successively from the same position during their probationary
28 periods without the approval of the director. The director, with
29 the approval of the commission, shall remove an employe during
30 [his] the probationary period if it is found after the employe

2 the employe was appointed as a result of fraud.
3 (b) Ten working days prior to the expiration of an employe's
4 probationary period the appointing authority shall notify the
5 [director] employe in writing whether the services of the
6 employe have been satisfactory. A copy of such notice shall be
7 given to the [employe] director. If the employe's work has been
8 satisfactory [he], the employe shall at the completion of [his]
9 the probationary period become a classified service employe
10 under the provisions hereof and continue in that position unless
11 separated therefrom as herein provided.
12 (c) If any employe is removed from [his] a position during
13 or at the end of [his] the probationary period, and the director
14 determines that [he] the employe is suitable for appointment to
15 another position, [his] the employe's name may be restored to
16 the list from which it was certified.
17 Section 10. Section 605 of the act is amended to read:
18 Section 605. Temporary Appointments to Extra Positions.--
19 When from pressure of work an extra position in the classified
20 service must be established for a period of less than [six]
21 twelve months, the appointing authority shall request the
22 director in writing to certify the name of a qualified person
23 from [the] an appropriate list of eligibles. In such request the
24 appointing authority shall state the cause of the extra work,
25 the probable length of employment and[, unless the position has
26 been classified,] the duties which the appointee is to perform.
27 Section 11. Section 705 of the act, amended August 27, 1963
28 (P.L.1257, No.520), is amended to read:

2 class, or in a similar class for which the employe qualifies. In
3 every case the appointing authority shall give written notice of
4 [his] this action to the director, according to the rules of the
5 commission. Transfer of a classified employe from a position
6 under the jurisdiction of one appointing authority to a position
7 under the jurisdiction of another appointing authority may be
8 made subject to such rules and with the approval of the director
9 and of both appointing authorities concerned. Any transfer of an
10 employe from a position in one class to a position in a class
11 for which a higher maximum rate of compensation is prescribed
12 shall be deemed a promotion and may be accomplished only in the
13 manner hereinbefore provided for the making of promotions. No
14 person shall ever be transferred from a position in the
15 unclassified service to a position in the classified service
16 unless [he is] appointed to such latter position after
17 certification of [his] the person's name from an eligible list
18 in accordance with the provisions of this act.
19 Section 12. Section 802 of the act, amended October 7, 1974
20 (P.L.676, No.226), is amended to read:

22 necessary in the classified service, no employe shall be
23 furloughed while any probationary or provisional employe is
24 employed in the same class in the same department or agency, and
25 no probationary employe shall be furloughed while a provisional
26 employe is employed in the same class in the same department or
27 agency. An employe shall be furloughed only if at the time [he
28 is furloughed, he] of furlough, the employe is within the lowest
29 quarter among all employes of the employer in the same class on
30 the basis of their last regular service ratings, and within this
19870H1730B2155 - 11 -
1 quarter [he] the employe shall be furloughed in the order of
2 seniority unless there is in existence a labor agreement
3 covering the employes to be furloughed, in which case the terms
4 of such labor agreement relative to a furlough procedure shall
5 be controlling: Provided, That the appointing authority may
6 limit the application of this provision in any particular
7 instance to employes in the same class, classification series or
8 other grouping of employes as referred to in any applicable
9 labor agreement, and which are in the same department or agency
10 within the same bureau or division with headquarters at a
11 particular municipality, county or administrative district of
12 the Commonwealth.
13 (b) A furloughed employe shall have the right of return to
14 any class and civil service status which [he] was previously
15 held, provided such class is contained in the current
16 classification plan of the agency; or to any class and civil
17 service status in the same or lower grade, provided that [he]
18 the employe meets the minimum qualifications given in the
19 classification plan of the agency.
20 (c) The appointing authority shall promptly report to the
21 director the names of employes furloughed, together with the
22 date the furlough of each is effective and the character of
23 [his] their services. Under the rules a regular employe
24 furloughed shall for a period of one year be given preference
25 for reemployment in the same class of position from which [he
26 was] furloughed and shall be eligible for appointment to a
27 position of a similar class in other agencies under this act
28 unless the terms of an existing labor agreement preclude the
29 employe from receiving the preferential treatment contained in
30 this section in which event the terms of the labor agreement
19870H1730B2155 - 12 -
1 shall be controlling[, provided that in case of a promotion of
2 another employe such preference shall not be effective if it
3 necessitates furloughing such other employe unless the terms of
4 an existing labor agreement require that such preferential
5 treatment shall be given to the furloughed employe].
6 Section 13. Section 803 of the act is amended to read:
7 Section 803. Suspension.--An appointing authority may for
8 good cause suspend without pay for disciplinary purposes an
9 employe holding a position in the classified service. Such
10 suspension shall not exceed in the aggregate [thirty] ninety
11 working days in one calendar year. No person shall be suspended
12 because of [his] race, religion or political, partisan or labor
13 union affiliation. What shall constitute good cause for
14 suspension may be stated in the rules. An appointing authority
15 may suspend without pay an employe holding a position in the
16 classified service, when criminal charges which constitute a
17 misdemeanor or a felony have been formally filed against the
18 employe. Suspensions without pay pending criminal charges which
19 constitute a misdemeanor or a felony may remain in effect until
20 the outcome of the criminal litigation. An appointing authority
21 shall forthwith report to the director in writing every
22 suspension, together with the reason or reasons therefor, and
23 shall send a copy of such report to the suspended employe. Such
24 report shall be made a part of the commission's public records.

1 during a probationary period[,] resulting from promotion, shall
2 [have the right to and shall], if the employe's performance is
3 satisfactory, be returned to the position or class held
4 immediately prior to such promotion without necessity of appeal
5 or hearing.
6 Section 806. Resignation.--The rules of the commission shall
7 state what shall constitute resignation from the classified
8 service. [Absence from duty for five consecutive working days
9 without notice to the appointing authority may be regarded as an
10 abandonment of a position and in effect a resignation.] Upon the
11 request of an appointing authority, and with the approval of the
12 commission, an employe may be reinstated in the classification
13 from which he has resigned. No resignation [except by
14 abandonment] of any person in the classified service shall be

3 service class providing such employment has been on a continuous
4 basis. Seniority for a classification series begins with the
5 date of first civil service employment in the class series and
6 includes periods of employment in classes within the series
7 during any period while employed in a continuous basis in the
8 classified service. Seniority in each class begins with the date
9 of first civil service employment in that class and includes
10 periods of subsequent employment in that class during any period
11 while employed on a continuous basis in the classified service.
12 (c) Periods of furlough and approved leave of absence
13 without pay shall be deemed continuous employment for seniority
14 purposes, except that the period of furlough or leave of absence
15 without pay shall not be counted toward seniority.
