How to Request Placement on a Statewide Transfer List

How to Request Placement on a Statewide Transfer List

Use the Freenames system in the Online Employment Center (JobAps) to request placement on a Statewide Transfer List for your current job class in which you hold permanent status.

Eligibility

To use this process, you must:

• Be a current State of Connecticut employee with permanent status.

• Know your official job class title.

You can find your job class title by:

• Contacting your Human Resources representative, or

• Reviewing your paycheck.

If your job class has multiple job codes due to different hourly equivalents, you must select each individual job code to be placed on all applicable transfer lists.

Example:
If you are an Information Technology Analyst 1, select the boxes for:

• 7603EU – Information Technology Analyst 1 (35 Hour)

• 7603FD – Information Technology Analyst 1 (40 Hour)

Important Notes

• There are no mandatory rights associated with placement on a Statewide Transfer List through this process.

• The State of Connecticut is not required to offer positions to individuals who place their names on a Statewide Transfer List.

• Placement on a Statewide Transfer List allows you to be considered for positions that match your current job class for which you hold permanent status.

• Caution:
  Do not use the Statewide Transfer List process to place your name on a mandatory rights transfer list.
  If you wish to place your name on a mandatory rights transfer list, contact your Human Resources representative.
