    (b)   An Appointing Authority shall directly reclassify a probationary or permanent employee in a position which has been reallocated to the job family level to which the position was reallocated, if the:
    (1)   Human Capital Management Division determines that the duties and responsibilities corresponding with an employee's job family level are identified as part of a new or revised job family descriptor; and
    (2)   employee had status in the former job family level on a regular basis, that is, not on detail to special duty; however, direct reclassification shall not cancel or otherwise affect a probationary period with the agency or a trial period after promotion.
    (c)   Direct reclassification shall take place within 30 calendar days after the effective date of the adoption of the new or revised job family descriptor.
    (d)   If the employee is ineligible for direct reclassification and the Appointing Authority does not or cannot directly reclassify, promote, demote, or transfer the employee, or detail the employee to special duty, the applicable provisions in the Merit Rules for reductions-in-force shall apply.
