What is Pipeline and who does it cover?

Coverage:

In accordance with the Layoff Procedures Manual, Human Resources will assist employees who have been impacted by layoff and have no classified service rights or are unable to exercise their classified service rights.  Also, Pipeline Assistance will be provided to employees with good work records in the exempt service who have been removed from their positions.

About the Program:

The Pipeline Assistance Program is a program designed to assist you in your search for new employment opportunities within Miami-Dade County.  The Pipeline Assistance Program does not guarantee job placement or preservation of compensation or benefits. 

Assistance:

We will help you in the following ways:

• In order to build your resume and tell us about all your education and experience, apply "Without a Job" in the online County Employment site.
  
  
• The recruitment process will be facilitated by advising hiring departments of employees who have been displaced. Promotional positions will be filled through the standard recruitment process; however, employees in the Pipeline may be considered for promotional positions that are being filled competitively.   
  
  
• County departments will be encouraged to grant interviews to displaced employees.  It will be the Department's discretion to extend an interview and/or job offer.   
  
  
• Should the above efforts prove unsuccessful; you will be able to apply for "County Only" recruitments for up to two years after separation from County service.

While in the Pipeline Assistance Program, if a position is offered and not accepted, participants will forfeit any additional assistance through the program for this round of layoffs. Participants who are selected to continue employment in the classified service must serve a new probationary period.  No further assistance will be provided if the probationary period is not successfully completed.
