Competitive - require applicants to meet both minimum qualifications and pass an examination. Those candidates with the highest examination scores are the first to be considered for appointment. A permanent appointment in the competitive class is made from a list of qualified eligible candidates who have passed an appropriate Civil Service examination.
All permanent appointments are subject to successful completion of a probationary period.
A permanent appointment cannot be terminated, interrupted or discontinued except in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations governing the classified service, or an applicable labor contract. Provisional Appointments - may be made to a vacant competitive classified position if there is no appropriate civil service eligible list for that title. A qualified applicant may be provisionally appointed and serve in the position until an appropriate eligible list can be established and a permanent appointment made. Temporary appointments may be made for a period of not more than three months without regard to existing eligible lists, providing the candidate meets the minimum qualifications. Appointments for more than three months, but not more than six months, may be made by selecting any candidate from the appropriate eligible list, without regard to their standing on the list.
