The director shall be responsible for the establishment and maintenance of appropriate eligible lists for all classes of positions and for determination of the adequacy of existing lists.
(AO No. 79-195)
A.
Reemployment list. Any employee with status who has been laid off in accordance with section 3.30.112 shall be entitled to have his or her name placed on a reemployment list. The director shall determine the order in which such names are arranged on each reemployment list considering qualifications for the position to be filled and seniority in service. Eligibility to remain on the reemployment list expires one year from the effective date of the layoff or separation. When vacancies occur in a class for which a reemployment list exists, this list shall be the only list used to fill the vacancy. An employee with status who is displaced as the result of a grievance shall be treated in the same manner as an employee who is laid off.
B.
Listing of former employees. An employee who separated in good standing may be certified as an additional, unranked eligible on promotional and open-competitive eligible lists for the same class of position or a lower class in the same or a parallel series, with the advance approval of the director. Eligibility to be added to such lists without competition expires one year from the date of separation. A former employee shall not be placed on a promotional certification list if such placement violates the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. Certification as an unranked eligible on eligibility lists does not provide former employees with any advantage over other applicants nor imply any preference or guarantee of appointment.
C.
Organization and agency lists. After each competitive promotional examination held in accordance with rule 4, the director shall prepare a list of qualified applicants. The names of eligible individuals will be placed on the list in alphabetic order.
D.
Open-competitive lists. After each open-competitive examination, the director shall prepare a list of qualified applicants. The names of eligible individuals will be placed on the list in alphabetic order.
(AO No. 79-195; AO No. 86-207(S-1); AO No. 88-51; AO No. 91-173(S); AO No. 94-117, § 8, 7-26-1994; AO No. 97-102, § 6, 8-19-1997; AO No. 2015-23(S), § 9, 3-24-2015)
If a vacancy exists in a class of positions for which there is no appropriate eligible list, the director may prepare an eligible list for the class from one or more existing related eligible lists. The director may select eligible lists from classes for which the minimum qualifications are comparable to or higher than those required for the class in which the vacancy exists. The director may, if appropriate, re-rate training and experience on the basis of the minimum qualifications required for the class in which the vacancy exists.
(AO No. 79-195)
The director may designate one or more classes, the duties of which are mainly unskilled in character, in which positions may be filled by noncompetitive appointments. The director shall establish standards for recruitment and selection for noncompetitive positions which shall be as similar to competitive procedures as is practicable.
(AO No. 79-195)
A.
Generally. The period during which a list remains in effect shall be determined by the director, taking into consideration the needs of the service, but shall not exceed two years. When the director deems it necessary, a new eligible list may be combined with an existing list. Eligibles will be placed on the combined list irrespective of dates on which the examination was taken.
B.
Continuous recruitment lists. The life of lists for classes for which continuous recruitment and examination is conducted in accordance with section 3.30.033D shall be indefinite but may be terminated by the director. The names of eligibles shall be added to and removed from such eligible list on a continuous basis. The name of an eligible may not remain on a list for a continuous recruitment class for longer than one year from the date of its entry on the list. Whenever the name of an eligible is removed from an eligible list, the eligible will be notified.
(AO No. 79-195; AO No. 94-117, § 9, 7-26-1994)
The director may remove the name of an eligible from a list for the following reasons:
A.
On evidence that the eligible cannot be located by postal authorities or if the eligible has failed to respond within five days to a letter of inquiry regarding availability for appointment;
B.
Upon written notification from the eligible that he or she no longer desires consideration for a position in that class;
C.
For declination of appointment without good cause under conditions of employment for a class which the eligible previously indicated he or she would accept;
D.
If two offers of probationary appointment to the class for which the register was established have been declined by the eligible without good cause;
E.
If an eligible has received probationary appointment to any position of another class for which the range is the same or higher than that of the class for which he or she has been certified, unless the eligible has requested his or her name remain on the list for that class;
F.
For failure to report for duty within the time prescribed by the agency head; a reasonable time must be allowed for notice to present employer; or
