MOU, OSS

If an employee’s position is abolished and they are unable to displace another County employee as provided in the Civil Service Rules, they shall receive reimbursement of 50% of the cash value of their unused sick leave; provided that such employee shall be eligible for reimbursement only if they remain in the service of the County until their services are no longer required by the department head. The County shall make every effort to secure comparable employment for the displaced employee in other agencies, and if such employment is secured, they will not be entitled to the aforementioned reimbursement.
