Is there a time limit on transferring again if I just transferred?
Hey everyone!

I just completed a transfer about 6 months ago and want to transfer again due to family reasons. Does anyone know if I have to wait a specific amount of time or if I can start looking again?

Thanks!

It is one year. I have heard that for medical issues it can be waived but I not sure.

It is 12 to 18 months unless you are returning to the district that you left

I'm getting conflicting answers....12 or 18 months....is this something the union will know or should I contact the local HR?

Thanks,

Thanks!

12 months unless you are transferring back to the same office that you left in the first place

18 months, if you was a excellent empl at your old place they will take you right away. If you need help talk to your NALC rep.

Thanks guys for all the help! Just found out from labor relations that it's 1 year, (sooner for special circumstances which have to be approved by the PM)
