SROA, transfer-process letters going out to CDCR employees
By OPEC Staff
Letters are going out this week to CDCR employees who are impacted by the Wave 2 Layoffs, notifying them that they are being placed on State Restriction of Appointment (SROA)/Surplus status effective July 2.
Earlier, letters went out to impacted Non-Peace Officer employees who are eligible to participate in the Voluntary Transfer Process (VTP).
The message to be taken from these events is that if you receive a letter from CDCR, take the time to read it carefully. The VTP and SROA letters contain different timeframes and deadlines.
Stacy Lopez-Kassis of the Office of Resource Planning (ORP) reminds employees that just because they receive a letter doesn’t mean they will be getting laid off.
“The letters are sent in a 4-to-1 ratio,” she explained, “meaning that for each position being eliminated, four employees who could be affected – directly by layoff, by someone demoting, or by someone bumping – are notified.”
The final number of CDCR employees laid off in Wave 2 won’t be known until the end of the entire process. It depends on several factors, including how many Peace Officers move as a result of the Statewide Bid Process; how many Non-Peace Officers move as a result of VTP; how many employees move to other State agencies; and how many retire or leave State service.
Employees with questions are urged to visit the LayoffResources webpage. The site is split between Peace Officer and Non-Peace Officer employees because the layoff processes for the two groups differ.
Nobody is SAFE! I got mine in the mail today and I have over 15 years of state service. Does anyone in SAC HQ have a clue???????????

In the old days when an employee marked their 25th anniversary with a company it was considered an accomplishment, usually acknowledged with a small gift, cake or a simple thank you. What did I receive? A letter informing me that I have been designated as a surplus employee. Mind you I am not worried about my status as I am safe from transfer or layoff, and a few years ago this would have been funny but now it is just sad. Sad in the fact that this department has fallen so far so fast. Never have I wished to grow old so fast. 4yrs. to 50 and I'm done. Shut it Down.
ReplyDeleteIt's allot of departments, companies, markets, food chains. Its a bad economy all around, and has been worsened by bad government and mis managed by imbecile managers. California is a perfect example of bad management. One by one, cities are now taking the easy way out, by going chapter 9 and 11. If you got 25 in, you should be very happy with yourself. Retirement is great. I just did it. My suggestion is to retire and go get a simple job like me. I now make more money than I did while I was topped out, and thoroughly loving life. Keep your health because thats all you really got.
