Lateral Transfer/Other Agency List (Public Agency Eligible List – PAEL)

Placer County offers an expedited process for qualifying certain applicants for interviews. Candidates currently employed, or employed within the last year, by a public agency operating under a personnel civil service or merit system may be eligible to be placed on a Public Agency Eligible List and certified as eligible for appointment to a similar job assignment without going through the examination process.

Those hired from this process will typically be considered new employees for purposes of determining seniority, benefits, and other leave accruals.

To be eligible for placement on a Public Agency Eligible List an applicant must meet all of the following criteria (per Placer County Code Chapter 3, section 3.08.720):

Applicant must be working for a public agency (other than Placer County) that operates under a personnel civil service or merit system. If not currently employed by a qualifying agency, the applicant must have been employed by a qualifying public agency within one year prior to the date his/her completed application is received by the Placer County Human Resources Department;

The classification in which Placer County employment is contemplated must possess the same or less minimum qualifications and be substantially similar in job assignment and responsibility as the position in which the applicant is/was employed by the public agency;

If classified, the applicant must hold or have held permanent status in the service of that agency;

If unclassified the applicant must be or have been employed by that agency, in that position, for a minimum of six (6) months;

The applicant must submit a Placer County Public Agency Eligible Self Certification form, certifying:

The applicant's employment record has been entirely satisfactory;
The applicant has not been separated for cause;
The applicant was appointed to the class as a result of a qualifying or competitive exam;
If not currently employed by a qualifying agency, the applicant is eligible for reinstatement to that agency.
