Blinn v. Ohio Bureau of Employment Services (1985), 29 Ohio App.3d 77. The existence of bad faith in the transfer and promotion of civil service employees does not depend upon a finding that the employer acted with a political or personal animus, or failed to comply with procedural requirements; where the intent and consequence of the employer's method is to subvert the civil service system to allow the selection of handpicked employees to fill jobs that should have been available to workers based on seniority and retention points, bad faith has been shown.

Civil Service Personnel Association v. City of Akron (1984), 20 Ohio App.3d 282. The provision of R.C. 124.38, providing that an employee who transfers from one public agency to another shall be credited with the unused balance of his accumulated sick leave up to the maximum of the sick leave accumulation permitted in the public agency to which the employee transfers, concerns a matter of fiscal policy which is well within the realm of local self-government, i.e. it is not a matter of statewide concern and a charter city need not grant such "transfer" credit.

Stotts v. Ohio Dept. of Transportation (1987), 31 Ohio Misc.2d 7. A classified state employee illegally transferred from one county to another is entitled to be compensated for the time consumed in that travel and to be given a mileage allowance.

Friedman v. Northeast Ohio Developmental Center (Mar. 5, 1985), PBR 84-TFR-12-1583.
