| RECRUITING OVERVIEW Kansas Employee Preference Each employee who has been laid off or has received a formal written notice of layoff is eligible for the Kansas Employee Preference Program. This is provided that the employee received a satisfactory evaluation and that the employee has not been demoted or suspended for disciplinary reasons within the 12 months prior to receiving notice of layoff. An individual has a right to this preference for 12 months from the effective date of their layoff or until they accept another position with the State of Kansas. Kansas Employee Preference Each individual who is eligible for Preference can apply for any classified vacancy that is at the same or lower pay grade as that which the individual was paid at the time of layoff notice. The individual shall be offered the position following an interview provided that during the interview it was determined that the individual meets the minimum requirements of the position. If two or more individuals use their Preference rights then additional job related criteria may be used to select the appropriate candidate. Reference: K.A.R. 1-6-23 (b)
