Addenda
California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) BMFEA Office Closure and Position Reclassification Agreement March 29, 2013
This agreement represents the full and complete understanding reached between the parties regarding the closure of the Bureau of Medical Fraud and Elder Abuse (BMFEA) Fresno office and the reassignment of the five impacted BMFEA agents.
1. In order to mitigate and expedite the reassignment of four Special Agents (SA) and one Special Agent Supervisor (SAS) who are presently assigned to the BMFEA Fresno office, hereafter referred to as “impacted employees”, the following process will be utilized:
a. DOJ will reassign impacted employees on a temporary basis to vacant division of Law Enforcement (DLE) positions within Fresno County. To facilitate this, the DLE will temporarily redirect vacant positions from the Bureau of Investigation (BI) Special Investigations Team (SIT) in Los Angeles to the Bureau of Investigations office in Fresno. The impacted employees will be reassigned to these positions to perform DLE work from on or about April 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013.
b. Following the reassignment of the impacted employees and in order to select the most qualified candidate for the position, BMFEA will relocate the resulting four SA and one SAS vacant BMFEA positions to Burbank and fill in accordance with the provisions of Article 16.1 within the Bargaining Unit 7 Memorandum of Understanding.
c. As vacant positions become available in Fresno County, DOJ will meet with CSLEA to discuss how the vacancies will be filled.
2. This agreement is not intended to permanently modify or alter the existing transfer process under Article 16.4 within the BU7 MOU.
3. This agreement waives the 12 month transfer restriction as set forth in Article 16.4, part A, subsection 3, c.
