§ 3-309. Temporary and provisional appointments.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever it is impossible to certify eligible persons for appointment to a vacancy in the classified service, the appointment authority may nominate a person to the Director. If such nominee is found by the Director to have had experience and training which appears to qualify him for the position, he may be temporarily appointed to such vacancy, but only until an appropriate eligible register can be established and an appointment made therefrom; provided that, the director, with the approval of the Board, may approve a provisional appointment to fill a technical or professional position which requires specialized knowledge or training and which cannot be filled from the eligible register. In no event shall a temporary appointment be continued for more than six months. Successive temporary appointments of the same person shall not be made; not more than one temporary appointment shall be made to any position within any twelve months period.
