Per a memo from CalHR, the Department of Finance will begin auditing departments to verify that they are in compliance with Government Code 12439, which states that:
"Under Government Code section 12439(a) 'any state position that is vacant for six consecutive monthly pay periods shall be abolished by the Controller.'"
The memo contains a list of resources for personnel and budget chiefs to review with their staff to ensure compliance.
