Voluntary Transfer Process & Statewide Bid Process

The Voluntary Transfer Process (VTP) and Statewide Bid Process (SWB) occur OUTSIDE the layoff process.

They are a result of Side Letter Agreements and are not dictated by Layoff Rules and Regulations.

VTP and SWB are available to improve your chance of retaining employment with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).

The Over/Under Report determines who will participate.

Only classifications in an “overage” (by County) will participate.
