(a) When a civil service employee has been reinstated after military service in accordance with Section 19780, and any question arises relative to his or her ability or inability for any reason arising out of the military service to perform the duties of the position to which he or she has been reinstated, the board shall, upon the request of the appointing power or of the employee, hear the matter and may on its own motion or at the request of either party take any and all necessary testimony of every nature necessary to a decision on the question.
(b) If the board finds that the employee is not able for any reason arising out of the military service to carry out the usual duties of the position he or she then holds, it shall order the employee placed in a position in which the board finds he or she is capable of performing the duties in the same class or a comparable class in the same or any other state department, bureau, board, commission, or office under this part and the rules covering transfer of an employee from a position under the jurisdiction of one appointing power to a position under the jurisdiction of another appointing power, without the consent of the appointing powers, where a vacancy may be made available to him or her under this part and the rules, but in no event shall the transfer constitute a promotion within the meaning of this part and the rules.
(c) If a layoff is made necessary to place a civil service employee in a position in the same class or a comparable class in accordance with this section, the layoff shall be made under Section 19997.3, provided that no civil service employee who was employed prior to September 16, 1940, shall be laid off as a result of the placing of an employee in the same class or a comparable class under this section.
