The department may designate an appointing power to allocate positions to the Personnel Classification Plan in accordance with Section 19818.6 and department rule. The department may audit position allocations. If the department finds that an appointing power has allocated positions inappropriately, the department may order corrective action, including, but not limited to, reallocating positions, voiding lawful personal transactions, and revoking or restricting the appointing power’s ability to allocate positions. If an appointing power’s allocation authority is revoked, the Department of Finance may transfer a sufficient number of personnel from the appointing power to the department to perform the previously delegated work.
