(a) The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation is established and shall have the power to perform and shall be responsible for the performance of all the powers, duties and functions respecting vocational rehabilitation heretofore vested in the State Board for Vocational Education/Rehabilitation Division pursuant to Chapter 33 of Title 14.
(b) In implementing the transfer of personnel of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation into the classified service under Chapter 59 of this title, the State Personnel Commission is directed to assign all positions of professional categories so that the salary schedules for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971, set forth in 57 Delaware Laws, Chapter 333, shall, insofar as practicable, be incorporated into the classifications and pay plans of the Commission. In no event shall the minimum, intermediate or maximum amounts for any position be less than those which would otherwise have been available to such personnel. The State Personnel Commission is further directed to assign all positions of nonprofessional personnel to appropriate positions and pay grades within the classifications and pay plans of the Commission. If, however, the present salary of any such employee is not at an even step of a pay grade, such employee shall be paid at the next higher even step and, in no event shall the salary paid any such employee be lower than that for which such employee would otherwise be eligible as of July 1, 1970.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation may employ 2 persons suffering from physical or mental disabilities, who are receiving services as clients of the Division at the date of hire, and who are able to perform job functions as defined by the Division, in a program of rehabilitation and training designed to enable them to become permanently employed.
Appointments shall not exceed 1 year per employee, and the positions shall be exempt from the classified service. Employment as rehabilitation aides shall constitute “credited service” for purposes of the state employees’ pension plan, under § 5501 of this title. In addition, rehabilitation aides shall be entitled to all previous credited service as a state employee for purposes of pension eligibility.
